Asia - WILDEST DREAMS

Saw Asia Live in 1983. Wildest Dreams is one of my all-time favorite songs. They told us way back then about all wars. 40 years later other people are noticing.

Wildest dreams, wildest dreams
Wildest dreams, wildest dreams
Fly away

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams
