I Still Have A Dream

Lyrics

[Intro "passionate preacher delivering sermon"] Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream [scream] today! [Interlude] [Verse 1] I still have a dream, it's burning in my soul, A vision of a place where hearts are pure as gold. Where every child can soar, the real journey shall begin. And be judged by their truth, not by the hue of their skin. [Pre-Chorus "violins play energetic tune"] I've seen the winds of change blowing through the trees, The whispers of a future built on unity and peace. [Chorus "deep bass"] Let’s keep the dream alive, for the ones who come behind, Where justice reigns with love and every heart can shine. Together hand in hand, let’s rise above the fray, And build the kind of world where this dream will stay. [Verse 2] I want my children’s eyes to see the land I knew, Where freedom's song is sung, and hope remains so true. With courage in our veins, let's face each new sunrise, And plant the seeds of kindness in fields of open minds. [Pre-Chorus "violins play energetic tune"] I've felt the sands of time slipping through our hands, There's power in the promise of a united stand. [Chorus "deep bass"] Let’s keep the dream alive, for the ones who come behind, Where justice reigns with love and every heart can shine. Together hand in hand, let’s rise above the fray, And build the kind of world where this dream will stay. [Bridge] Oh, let the echoes of the past guide us through the night, With courage as our compass and love our guiding light. For in this great endeavor, we can’t afford to hide, United in our purpose, standing side by side. [Chorus "deep bass"] Let’s keep the dream alive, for the ones who come behind, Where justice reigns with love and every heart can shine. Together hand in hand, let’s rise above the fray, And build the kind of world where this dream will stay. [Outro] I still have a dream, it’s burning in my soul, A land where every color makes the canvas whole. Let's carry on the dream that Dr. King did weave, And take America to heights we all believe.
