What the Song is About
This song tells a story about a dream. In the dream, the person singing sees an angel or a sailor. This angel or sailor brings a special message of peace to all the children in the world.
When the singer wakes up, they remember the dream clearly. But they feel sad because the peace promised in the dream isn't real in the world. So, the song becomes a heartfelt wish. It's a plea to God to make that beautiful dream of peace come true for everyone.

A Part of the Song's Message
Here is a small part of the song's lyrics, which helps us understand its main idea:
- My God, I wanted you to know
- A dream I dreamt last night in bed
- And in the dream I saw an angel
- From the heavens he came to me and said thus:
- I have come from the heavens, I have traveled far,
- To deliver a Blessing of Peace to all children
- To deliver a Blessing of Peace to all children
The song continues with the singer waking up and looking for peace, but not finding it. Later, the dream changes, and a sailor brings the same message from the sea. This shows how much the singer wants peace to be real.
