I dreamed a dream, a dream that no one has ever 
                            dared to dream before. 
                        I dreamed I lived in peace, at peace,
                      The world was one, we didn't fight,
                         The world was whole, united,
                     There was no man that I could hate,
                   The Mending Walls had all come down.

                        I dreamed I lived in love, with love,
                        I loved my neighbor as myself,
                         I loved myself as I love God,
                     There was no anger, angst, or hate,
                       I lived in love, free from sorrow.

                          I dreamed I lived, I was myself,
                     I ruled myself; my neighbor himself,
                   We could all be trusted to do no wrong,
                        There was no body overhead,
                     To govern, to strip us of our morals.

            I dreamed a dream, a dream that no one has ever dared to
                                dream before... 

                                                               ...and that
                                                              scares me

Reason for writing:

    I had a dream one night and it inspired me.
