I [G]wish I could [D]catch all the dreams of Dub[G]lin
dreams of [D]love and thier dreams of [G]joy
the dreams of[C] peace and pr[G]osperity
for every [D]Irish girl and [G]boy
I wish I could [D]hold, the baby in A[G]frica
and help her [D]through, this long lonely [G]night
take away her[C] pain, thirst and [G]hunger
and hope she [D]lives, to see the [G]dawn .
I wish I could catch, all the dreams of Dublin
dreams of love, and dreams of joy
the dreams of peace and tranquility
thier prayers for every, African boy
I wish I could comfort, the grieving mother
crying for her child, that's passed away
I wish I could
bring her, dreams of eternity
I wish I could go back, to another day
I wish I could catch, all the dreams of Dublin
the
dreams of love and thier dreams of joy
the dreams of peace and prosperity
for every mother's girl and boy
instrumental
I wish I could shield, the freedom fighter
who fights for freedom, 'til his dying breath
the only freedom,
his government will give to him
will be the promise, of a painful death
I wish I could catch all the dreams in Dublin
their
dreams of love and thier dreams of joy
their dreams of peace and tranquility
for every suffering, tortured mother's
boy
I wish I could catch all the dreams of Dublin
their dreams of love and thier dreams of joy
their dreams of peace
and traquility
and leave this world -----
