Yesterday’s Dream
- Donna Cruz
“We are the children of yesterday’s dream
we are the promise of the future we bring.
Waving the banner of love to all,
To every nation the rich and the poor
We are the world of the restless and young
And we need a hand to guide us.
Helping each other build each other

As long as we’re together you and me
For together we stand divided we fall
Together we climb to the top of the world
We can be what we want for the world to see that we are the children of
yesterday’s dream…”
