\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were traveling north to sing and play to friends that we had never met
\nBeen working hard and didn’t speak, the skies were grey and threatened wet
\nAnd I dreamed that I saw unicorns, dreamed I saw them wild and white
\nTheir restless beauty lit the world like a star will light a winter’s night<\/p>\n

Pure as love with manes of milk, they danced and pranced and cried aloud
\nBright as rainbows around the stars
\nTheir eyes were soft and sad and proud<\/p>\n

And I wept for the wild and dirty world to which this beauty now was lost
\nAnd cursed the hungry mind of man that feeds the future at such cost
\nMy head was bowed, my eyes were closed when in my ears their voices rang
\nThese few words lodged deep inside in my very soul they sang:<\/p>\n

We never went away
\nYou always knew that we were near
\nRemember how to look for us
\nYou will find we were always here<\/p>\n

And I raised my eyes to seek them out but the world was empty all around
\nThe rain came tumbling from the sky, it drowned all dreams upon the ground
\nAnd when they asked me why I wept like one who for his dead love mourns
\nThe only answer I could give: I dreamed that there were unicorns<\/p>\n

We never went away
\nYou always knew that we were near
\nRemember how to look for us
\nYou’ll find we were always here<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
