[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

[Verse]
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

[Bridge]
Hold your head up, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on, keep your head up

[Keyboard Solo]

[Verse]
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

[Chorus]
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

[Outro]
Sweet dreams are made of this

On the occasion of my last day in action in an OpenText office let me commemorate a most special moment in my career. Peter & Peter at  OpenText Enterprise World 2019  in Toronto. The lyrics of the song  " Fourteen Black Paintings " by  Peter Gabriel  have a deep meaning for me: They connect my iXOS tenure (1996 - 2001) with my OpenText tenure (2003 - 2024), and they express my hope for a changed world where we all can live together in peace. To my congenial co-creators at OpenText:           Thank you for the company ! ________________________________ P.S. Peter (PeLi) has been updated to version 6.1:
