Sabine Mehlberg sings a cover of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ by The New Troubadours. Thank you Britta Schmitz for the lovely video of Cullerne’s recently created flower garden by volunteer Joy Fischer.

The group that wrote this song formed here at the Findhorn Foundation spiritual community in the early 1970s. David Spangler writes “The spirit of the New Troubadours (affectionately called “the Troubs”) was one of fun, laughter, and a joy at the vision of a possible new world and a new consciousness of wholeness evolving within humanity. I think that spirit and joy comes across in our music. ”

I Dreamed a Dream – Lyrics:
I dreamed a dream a long time ago, ’bout a land where the rivers run wild;
where flowers grow wherever they choose and the breezes flow gentle and mild;
where the trees stand in silence yet singing their song, in natural harmony;
where the Earth freely gives to nurture all life, and creation is boundless and free.

I dreamed a dream a long time ago about people who know how to live.
Their words and their deeds are simple and pure, and their love they most willingly give.
Each day of their lives is a reverent prayer, their joy fills each moment with light,
and the peace found within is reflected without, like a day softly echoed by night.

My dream slowly fades with the passing of time, yet my vision grows clearer each day.
I know what a wonderful world it will be when we each learn the part that we play.
But each one of us must find the truth for ourselves, and live it the best that we can;
and I’ll sing my song just as you will sing yours, what a beautiful vision for Man!

(by Patti Weber Lightstone)
