Dreaming Out Loud

It's the first day of the rest of our lives
Beginning as it usually does
But this one seems a little bit different
The world is all abuzz

It's all abuzz with great excitement
Something's about to take place
Have us guys finally realized the big truth
We're destroying the human race

Since the very beginning of time, it seems
Wars have forever been fought
Over land, religion, and ideologies
In a web of destruction, we're caught

A day of awakening is about to take place
We're finally going to see the light
From this day forward wars will be abolished
Peace will be finally in sight

Am I dreaming or what? Can this be true?
Pinch me to make sure I'm awake
Let's hope this time it's more than a dream
But reality, for all our sakes
