Donovan Leitch - Every Man Has His Chain lyrics

From the album best of donovan ii

I had a dream as daylight touched the sky

As breezes chased along the winter lane.

I had a dream as dreams alone I dreamt

Has every man his chain,

Has every man his chain ?

A negro hid beneath a face of blood

And is there really anyone to blame ?

I marveled at the beauty of children's minds.

Has every man his chain,

Has every man his chain ?

I saw a beach of sand beside the sea

And there before me I saw every grain

And I wondered, well, it was best this way

Every man has his chain,

Every man has his chain.
