Seven

Dionne Warwick

Compositor: David Elliott

I had a dream last night, woke me up, trouble on my mind
There were seven angels and seven were behind
Coming out of the water, they were running towards the light
The first seven had smiles on their faces
They were laughing with each other and playing holy games
The second seven had death in their eyes
The world on their shoulders and confusion in their minds
So I went to the wise man to look inside my dreams
To ask him what he saw and he said to me

There'll be seven years of good times and so much good luck
And anything you try, you'll never get stuck
Oh but seven years of fire, there'll be black in the air
Famine in the streets and people dying everywhere

Oh they're dying and it just ain't right
Oh they're dying, dying for life

I still remember the look in their eyes, as the fire rolled in, how it lit up the night
Seems like it was just yesterday, the sky was so blue
Not a cloud in the way
So I look deep inside me, in search of a little peace
Keep hearing all those words that were said to me

There'll be seven years of good times and so much good luck
And anything you try, you'll never get stuck
Oh but seven years of fire, there'll be black in the air
Famine in the streets and people dying everywhere

Oh they're dying, and it just ain't right
Oh they're dying

There'll be seven years of good times and so much good luck
And anything you try, you'll never get stuck
Oh but seven years of fire, there'll be black in the air
Famine in the streets and people dying everywhere

Oh they're dying, and it just ain't right
Oh they're dying

Dying for life
Dying for life
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Dying for life
