Song Description

By Joe Scuderi

Lyrics

My parents told me when I was very small
No such thing as freedom unless freedom's shared by all
They said there was once a man who had a dream for everyone
That some day the darkness would surely be overcome

And I've got a dream too
Of a world where we can live with one another just like Sisters and like Brothers
Oh I've got a dream too
Where justice is a mighty river flowing down from you to me and from me to you
I've got a dream too

Now this man gave his life for all of those who he loved
And he always tried to keep his eyes turned to what's up above
And every day I wonder if I'll have the strength to do what's right
And play my part when the time arrives and darkness surrenders to the light

And I've got a dream too
Of a world where we can live with one another just like Sisters and like Brothers
Oh I've got a dream too
Where justice is a mighty river flowing down from you to me and from me to you
I've got a dream too

And that day will surely come
When we will look our children in the eye
And we will tell them how
We took a stand and we did not bow
When our time arrived
When our time arrived

And I ask you will you stand with me now
And when we celebrate our songs will reach the sky
Our hearts will share our hopes with one another and we will know
Oh that we can set ourselves free yeah free

And yes we have the strength
Oh we have the strength to set ourselves free

And I've got a dream too
Of a world where we can live with one another just like Sisters and like Brothers
Oh I've got a dream too
Where justice is a mighty river flowing down from you to me and from me to you
I've got a dream too
Oh I've got a dream too

And this is a dream for you and me
And we can surely set ourselves free
