Lyrics - The Day John Kennedy Died by Reed Lou

I dreamed
I was the president of these
United
States
I dreamed
I replaced ignorance, stupidity and hate
I dreamed the perfect union and a perfect law, undenied
And most of all
I dreamed
I forgot the day
John
Kennedy died
I dreamed that
I could do the job, that others hadn't done
I dreamed that
I was uncorrupt and fair to everyone
I dreamed
I wasn't gross or base, a criminal on the take
And most of all
I dreamed
I forgot the day
John
Kennedy died
Oh the day
John
Kennedy died
I remember where
I was that day,
I was upstate in a bar
The team from the university was playing football on
TVThen the screen want dead and the announcer said:'
There's been a tragedy
There's are unconfirmed reports the president's been shot
And he may be dead or dying.'
Talking stopped, someone shouted: '
What?! '
I ran out to the street
People were gathered everywhere saying:'
Did you hear what they said on
TV? '
And then a guy in a
Porsche with his radio
Hit his born and told us the news
He said: '
The president's dead, he was shot twice in the head
In
Dallas, and they don't know by whom. '
I dreamed
I was the president of these
United
States
I dreamed
I was young and smart and it was not a waste
I dreamed that there was a point to life and to the human race
I dreamed that
I could somehow comprehend that someone
Shot him in the face
Oh the day
John
Kennedy died
