Chorus:

If I'm dreaming don't wake me up

If it's a lie don't tell me the truth

'Cause what the truth

will do, it's gonna hurt my heart

Being in the darkness for so long now

Mr President, did I hear you well

Last night on TV

You said: The group areas act is going

Apartheid is going (x2)

Inna me eye me sight the future so bright

I mean in my eyes I see the future so bright

When the blackie manna coming together

With the whitey manna (x2)

Whitey manna coming together with the blackman

Chorus:

If I'm dreaming don't wake me up

If it's a lie don't tell me the truth

Gazing at my crystal ballI see the future so bright

The fighting's gonna stop now

We'll forgive and forget

I know Mr President

You can't please everyone

But everybody liked it

When you said

Group areas act is going

Apartheid is going (x2)

Chorus:

If I'm dreaming don't wake me up

If it's a lie don't tell me the truth
