The day john kennedy died

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 TV
Then 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 horn 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
