Description
Next in my series of highlights from the youth version of Robin Hood & The Free People of The Forest: In The Great Dream. King Richard came back to England in time to save Robin and his men from execution at the hands of the Sheriff. However, in exchange, the King has demanded that Robin and his men return with him to the crusades.
The women are left behind to keep the home fires burning, among other things. Dianah (the youthful feminist responsible for suggesting revolution to the Merrie Men) learns the virtue of Marion's pacifist ways; and, she is healed. This is their duet.
ROBIN HOOD Highlights (youth version):
Too Many Years (in which the Sheriff walks among the Saxons)
Out Of The Forest (in which Robin boasts & Dianah suggests revolution)
Hail To The Sheriff (in which the Merrie Men capture the Sheriff)
Lay Your Burdens Down (in which Friar Tuck encourages the Sheriff to pay for their feast)
One Less Child (in which Robin, Marion & Dianah lament the death of Much the Miller's Son)
In The Great Dream (in which the women dream of a better way)
A couple other demos from my adult version are already posted:
Walls (in which Will Scarlet laments his life, is saved by love)
Here, For A Moment (w/ Emily Rohm) (love song between Robin & Marion)
Sweet Liberty (w/ Jessica Flood) - a song written for and performed at the Statue of Liberty dedication in the mid-80s, later folded into Robin Hood.

Lyrics
IN THE GREAT DREAM
Women's Chorus:
You and I and you and I and you and I
In the Great Dream.
You and I and you and I and you and I
In the Great Dream.
Marion:
Let's wage peace
In the Great Dream.
Hate must cease
In the Great Dream.
Each must be,
In the Great Dream,
Equal and free
In the Great Dream.
There will be room for you;
There will be room for me.
If we want, we can make it happen…
It's in our reach.
No more killing;
Show them, instead, how life should be lived.
Once we're in the Great Dream
All are meant to be free! Free!
Let's wage peace
In the Great Dream.
Hate must cease
In the Great Dream.
Each must be,
In the Great Dream,
Equal and free
In the Great Dream.
All of the hurt and fear
Building from year to year;
Will the grief be passed on and on,
Will it never end?
Break the cycle…
Don't add to the pain with more of the same.
Once we're in the Great Dream
All are meant to be free! Free!
(repeate chorus)
Marion and Dianah:
You and I, now it will start, here, with us.
You and I, here with us, it can begin.
You and I. Let it start.
You and I; of one heart.

access to such talented singers, musicians. But of course you are so talented I can surely see that artists are attracted to your productions because they are so dang incredibly good.
Truly these show pieces are many of Macjams best. But top notch in any place on the internet i would think.
A true delight to hear.
Superb! Bravo !!!
