Goombay Dance Band Lyrics
Island of Dreams The island of dreams where people are born with a…
Sun Of Jamaica Long time ago, when I was a young boy I saw…
Irina.
on A POOR BOY'S DREAM
Chorus: I have met a poor boy,
He was lonely and blue.
He had no one in this world,
Cause he was born in a barn.
I. I have met a poor boy,
He was lonely and blue.
He had no one in this world,
Cause he was born in a barn.
Interlude: Cause he was born in a barn.
II. But he smiled and he said:
"I am dreaming of this:
Why can't the people be friends?
They all live in the same world."
III. I know what to say,
I knew that it was true.
There is no peace on this Earth,
Even it's Christmas time.
IV. Please, remember this boy!
Don't forget what he said:
Try to live in harmony,
We all live in the same world".
Interlude: We all live in the same world.
