Someone who dreams
from “Songs of Sorrow” - SATB a cappella divisi - Original text - English - Medium - Premiered
“Sometimes I dream of saving the world.
Saving everyone from the invisible hand.
The hand that brands us with an employee badge.
The one that forces us to work for them.
The hand that claps while we are on stage.
The hand that feeds us while we are in a cage.
The hand that controls us every day without us knowing it
But I have no power anyway, and I can’t stop it.
I am just this voice that sings. I am just someone who dreams.”
