Tick Tock

Stevie Ray Vaughan

One night while sleeping in my bed 
I had a beautiful dream 
That all the people of the world got together 
On the same wavelength 
And began helping one another 
Now in this dream universal love was the theme of the day 
Peace and understanding and it happened this way 

The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces 
The tired and the homeless had family all around 
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places 
And the walls came tumblin' down 

People of the world all had it together 
Had it together for the boys and the girls 
And the children of the world look forward to a future 

Remember 
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people 
Time's tickin' away 
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people 
Time's tickin' away 

I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea 
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again 
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me 
The worst of enemies became the best of friends 

People of the world all had it together 
Had it together for the boys and the girls 
And the children of the world look forward to a future 

Remember 
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people 
Time's tickin' away 
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people 
Time's tickin' away 

Remember that, remember that 
Remember that, remember that 

People of the world all had it together 
Had it together for the boys and the girls 
And the children of the world look forward to a future 

Remember 
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people 
Time's tickin' away 
Remeber that 
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people 
Time's tickin' away
