MUSIC: "Dream On" by Christian Falk feat. Robyn and Ola Salo

I first saw this video a few weeks ago on Bravehound.com (when I copy-posted Beyonce's "Single Ladies"). But I didn't appreciate this other video until tonight when I saw it as a free download on iTunes and actually watched it. I really appreciate the song and its story and message; it reminds me of movie Crash and how we can easily misjudge people and situations. It challenges us to not be so quick to assess an instance. And I too believe that the video restore a sense of hopefulness that we're all needed in these times.

"Dream On"
by Christian Falk
feat. Robyn and Ola Salo

Lyrics:

Thugs and badmen
punks and lifers
locked up interns
pigs and snitches

Rest your weary heads, all is well

You won't be strip-searched, torn up tonight
you won't be cut up, bleeding tonight
you won't be strung out, cold, shaking to your bones
wishing you were anywhere else but right here
So dream on

Thieves and muggers
tricks and hustlers
cheats and traitors
scum and low-lives

Rest your weary heads, all is well

You won't be sad or broken tonight
you won't be squealed on, ripped off tonight
you won't be back-stabbed, double cross, face down
teeth knocked out, lying in a gutter somewhere
So dream on

So dream on

Freaks and junkies
fakes and phonies
drunks and cowards
manic preachers

Rest your weary heads, all is well

You won't be pushed or messed with tonight
you won't be lied to, ruffed up tonight
You won't be insane, paranoid, obsessed
aimlessly wandering through the dark night
So dream on

So dream on

You won't be insane, paranoid, obsessed
aimlessly wandering through the dark night

So dream on
