Revolutionary Dream
Pablo Moses Lyrics

Oh yea-hah, oh lo-or-rd, now
The artist starts with an exclamation to grab the listener's attention and says that this is happening right now.

A revomutionary dream, people listen keen
The artist talks about a dream he had about a revolution and urges people to pay attention.

Freedom fighter I was in I dream
The artist sees himself as a freedom fighter in this dream.

I was on this mountain with other soldiers
In the dream, the artist is on a mountain with other soldiers, who are presumably freedom fighters.

Awaiting orders for attack the oppressors
The soldiers on the mountain are waiting for orders to attack the oppressors.

In this particular dream the time was night
The dream takes place at night.

A time we knew we have to fight
The artist and the other soldiers knew that they had to fight at this time.

Did not want to fight, our brothers
The artist and the other soldiers did not want to fight their own brothers.

But we had to because there were traitors
The reason they had to fight their own brothers is because there were traitors among them.

We knew not when this war would end
The artist says that they did not know when this war would end.

But our freedom we had to defend, yeh-ha
Regardless of when the war would end, they had to defend their freedom.

Just when we were about to kill the head man
As they were about to kill the leader of the oppressors, something happened.

I awoke out of I wondeful vision
The artist wakes up from his dream.

Back into the world of reality
The artist is brought back into the real world.

To try endure the strains of poverty
The artist now has to face the struggles of living in poverty.

A revolutionary dream, people listen keen
The artist repeats the earlier call to pay attention to his dream of revolution.

Woy, woah-woh-ho-oy, woh-woh-woy, woy
This is a repeated call-to-action to pay attention.

Oh yeah.
The artist concludes the song.
