"Dreaming Out Loud" lyrics - GOV'T MULE

[Verse 1: Warren Haynes]
The world's in trouble and that's no lie
But somewhere in the future we're all gonna fly
So open up your mind
It's been closed for so long
Let your body relax and get lost in the song

[Pre-Chorus: Warren]
We all got to live together
Put our differences aside
Fighting is not the answer
We're living in the great divide

[Verse 2: Ivan Neville]
Somebody said it's all about truth
Try to find it today, well, there ain't no use
Somebody said it's time to rise above
You only need a heart full of grace
A soul generated by love

[Chorus: All]
Forgive me
I'm dreaming out loud again
I said forgive me
I'm dreaming out loud again

[Verse 3: Ruthie Foster]
An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind
Free your heart and let your spirit unwind
Gonna stick with love
The love we share
'Cause hate is too big of a burden to bear

[Pre-Chorus: Ruthie]
We all got to live together
Put our differences aside
Silence is not the answer
We're living in the great divide

[Verse 4: Ruthie]
Somebody said a lie cannot live
But don't be devoid of the power to forgive
It's time to find out
Just who you are
Only in the darkness can you see the stars

[Chorus: All]
Forgive me
I'm dreaming out loud again
I said forgive me
I'm dreaming out loud again

[Pre-Chorus: Warren]
Somebody said that in the end
We will remember the silence of our friends

[Bridge: All & Ruthie]
If we're gonna leave a better world behind us
Dragging everybody on the bus
We may not have chosen the time
But the time has chosen us
The future is not beyond our control
It's the work of our own hands
And those that look
Only to the past
Are certain to get passed by

[Chorus: Warren & Ruthie]
Forgive me
I'm dreaming out loud again
Dreaming out loud
I said forgive me
I'm dreaming out loud again
Forgive me
I'm dreaming out loud again
