It's just a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
It's just a dream
Down on the courts in Bed Stuy, a legend rose from the streets
Just a poor kid with no use for what the others called gravity
People came from all around to see young Connie Hawkins do his thing
When the hawk went up against the best at Rucker Park, oh how the choir would sing
High flying kid, do you know what you just did?
And it's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, what do you know
Hey pa, I think I'm gonna make it, I'm going away on a one way ticket
And it's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, steady you go
Round here those are always sinking, folks will say, Connie, what were you thinking
He lead the team in High School, he never lost once two years in a row
Got a scholarship to Iowa and knew that he had to go
He sent a letter home, to his papa, said, papa, I'm going to the NBA
But then out of nowhere his name got dropped into a scandal, always someone got to pay
High flying kid, do you know what you just did?
It's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, what do you know
Hey pa, I think I'm gonna make it, I'm going away on a one way ticket
It's just a dream love, it's just a dream love, steady you go
Round here those are always sinking, folks will say, Connie, what were you thinking
So I got to, got to, got to get going now, pap, there's a detective here from the DA
And he's telling me they'll lock me away, if I don't say what he wants me to say
So to all the kids on the back home lots, I swear it isn't like they say
The investigators pushed me around, and then I was blackballed by the NBA
That playground legend, who could dunk when he was eleven, with super natural abilities
Long before MJ, before the Doctor
And his Dreams were stolen, stomped on and thrown in, he never got his day in the sun
And now here lies High Flying Hawkins, the greatest player that never was
So to all the kids on the back home lots, I swear it isn't like they say
The investigators pushed me around, and I was blackballed by the NBA
His dreams were stolen, stomped on and thrown in, he never got his day in the sun
And now here lies High Flying Hawkins, the greatest player there ever was
Dispatch was an American indie/roots folk jam band formed at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont. Active from 1996 to 2002, they have come together three times for reunion concerts, first in 2004, again in 2007, and a third time in 2009. The band experimented with a variety of genres, making them difficult to categorize. Dispatch was also instrumental in the creation of the non-profit organization The Elias Fund. The members were Brad Corrigan (vocals, drums, guitar, percussion, and harmonica), Pete Francis Heimbold (vocals, bass and guitar) and Chad Urmston (vocals, guitar, bass, and percussion).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
