Last night I had the strangest dream..

A poem by Ed McCurdy on remembrance day.

"Last night I had the strangest dream"

Last night I had the strangest dream

I ever had before

I dreamt the world had all agreed

to put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room

the room was filled with men

The papers they were signing said

they'd never fight again

And when the papers were all signed

and a million copies made

They all joined hands and bowed their heads

and grateful prayers were prayed

And the people in the street below

were dancing round and round

and guns and swords and uniforms

were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream

I've never dreamt before

I dreamt the world had all agreed

to put an end to war!
