I had a dream of unity
Where we could work side by side
But today I see that it's only me
Just trying to get by
Sometimes we strive undeterred
To walk as one toward our goal
But as people stray towards more selfish ways
We see we have no control
I had a dream of unity
Where we would work side by side
But today I see that it's only me
Just tryin' to get by just tryin' to get by

Greg Graffin's version of MLK's. Great slow song (maybe the slowest BR song ever ?).

Well, I suppose that this song is about individualism and collectivism. I mean, when all people become individualists, they form a sad reflection of society. When people are [b]individuals[/b] but collectivists, they can reach their goal. Only together we are powerful.

Greg says in one concert that it's about the punk scene, but I think it's about humanity in general

A song of a man dreaming and waiting of unity, where the world he lives is not secure anymore. everything disorder...

Although it may not be one of their greatest songs musically I believe it sends a very good message lyrically. 'I had a dream of unity/Where we would work side by side,' reveals that there are people in this world today that believe in the eradication of
racism and that two people, no matter ethnicity, can work together to achieve a common goal. 'But today I see that that it's only me/Just trying to get by,' shows that even with people trying to be racially optimistic that there is no way around it in any society. 'Sometimes we strive, undeterred/To walk as one towards our goal,' I believe means that no matter how much one is chastised, if they believe in their goals they can eventually reach them. 'But as people stray toward more selfish ways/We see we have no control,' shows that in the end it will be too difficult for one person to control because of the way in which society is heading. Dream of Unity is a very powerful song lyrically because of the harsh realities it shows about today's society. 07/17/2004 at 02:34

I interpret this song, dream of unity, as being just that... a dream. This song is about how no matter how much we try or talk about being unified... we never strive towards the perfection we talk about.

This song is obviously about working all you life to achieve your goal and then have your allies abandon you when you need them the most.
