"One Dream
" is an inspirational peace song which comes from the season 5 episode
"His Majesty Donlon". Unfortunately there are no song credits at the
end of the episode so it is Unknown who wrote the song.
The song is performed by Jesse Borrego, Nia
Peeples, Loretta Chandler, Carlo Im,perato, Gene Anthony Ray, Cynthia Gibb and
Billy Hufsey. The video is filmed
outside the U.N. Building in New York City.
Sadly, rain stopped filming and they were unable to shoot the required
close ups of each of the cast members so these had to filmed back in L.A. Gene
Anthony Ray was not available to film any close up.
The song was never
released on a Fame Single or Album and so far has never been performed in any
of the Fame concerts.

It's only a Shanty, in old Shanty Town.
The roof is so slanty, it touches the ground.
My tumbled down shack, by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.
I'd give up a palace if I were a king,
It's more than a palace, it's my everything.
And there's a queen waiting there, with a silvery crown,
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town.
Oh, it's only a Shanty, in old Shanty Town.
The roof is so slanty, it touches the ground.
My tumbled down shack, by an old railroad track
Like a millionaire's mansion is calling me back.
I'd give up a palace if I were a king,
Say It's more, it's more than a palace, Baby it's my
everything.
There's a queen waiting there, with a silvery crown,
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town.
I'd give up a palace
If I were a king,
Why it's more, it's more than a palace,
Baby, it's my everything.
There's a queen waiting there, with a silvery crown,
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town. (Shanty Town)
In a Shanty in old Shanty Town.

You came callin', and I'm fallin'
You're like a fire and I feel like a flame
So consume me with what you're doin'
Love makes me hold on, I'll never be the
same
Just like you to take me higher
Just like me to make you care
Just like you to be the one who's always
there
Just like me to take you higher
Just like you to make me care
Just like me to be the one who's always
there
Hypnotizin', oh, so mystifying
I feel the magic in every word you say
Soul inspired, loves desire
When you're near me my love won't slip away
Love won't slip away, hey, hey, hey
Just like you to take me higher
Just like me to make you care
Just like you to be the one who's always
there
Just like me to take you higher
Just like you to make me care
Just like me to be the one who's always there.

"The moons up
and the suns down
And a thousand
starry eyes have caught me crying
You don't die of a
broken heart
You just lie down
and give up trying
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night
It's all gone but
the memories
Come back to me in
scattered pieces
Your eyes shine
Your smile glows
And my loneliness
for you increases
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night
The moon's up and
the sun's down
And a thousand
starry eyes have caught me crying
You don't die of a
broken heart
You just lie down
and give up trying
And it's gonna be a
long night, all night
It's such a long
hard fight
Keeping the tear
drops out of sight
Waiting for morning
light
It's gonna be a long
night"

"I got a hunger
running deep
I got a pain that
you can't see
Here in the city I
feel free
To chase what's
calling me
Now in a world that
plays for keeps
There is a party in
the streets
I'm gonna do what I
have to do
To make a life for
me
But it takes you
some time
Till you get you a
mind of your own
City nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The nights are gonna
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights will be
my home
City nights
City nights
I work all day it's
wasting time
It pays the bills it
kills my mind
But I do what I have
to do
To keep my dream
alive
And when the
moonlight hits the street
I feel the thunder
of the beat
And suddenly I know
what I've been waiting for
But it takes you
some time
Till you get you a
mind of your own
City nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The nights are gonna
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights
Never gonna be alone
City nights will be
my home
City nights
City nights
City nights
I can't wait any
longer
I know where I
belong
There's my star
moving faster
But I'll take my
chances
I got to be strong
City nights
City nights
City nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The night's gonna
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights
I'll be what I want
to be
The nights will
rescue me
Cause you know that
I'm living
Deep in the city
nights"
Cuz, you know just
what to say,
And you know just
what to do,
And I want to tell
you so much, I love you.
I long to see the
sunlight in your hair,
And tell you time
and time again how much I care.
Sometimes I feel my
heart will overflow,
Hello.
I’ve just got to let
you know.
Cuz, I wonder where
you are,
And I wonder what
you do.
Are you somewhere
feeling lonely,
Or is someone loving
you.
Tell me how to win
your heart,
Cus, I haven’t got a
clue,
But, let me start by
saying,
