Tell my people I won't be coming home
I'll be walking in the streets tonight
Shaking hands with everybody I meet, saying
The king had a dream and now it's my real life
The king had a dream and now it's my real life
I saw a man start running
He ran so fast, he began to fly
He flew across America
And then over the world
And if he can do it, so can I
And my children will say so can I
Singing, yes I am
Singing, I am a man
And I know that I can
'Cause the king had a dream and know I know I can
Be all I can
Tell my people I won't be coming home
I'll be dancing in the streets tonight
And tell your people they can all come along, there's a
A party in the streets tonight
And don't you worry 'bout no Babylon
Could they be switching of their guns and their hosepipes
We'll be singing freedom songs till the early morning
Come on join in if you like
'Cause the king had a dream and now it's my real life
Singing, yes I am
Singing, I am a man
And I know that I can
'Cause the king had a dream and know I know I can
I've seen over the mountain top I have
I said the king had a dream and know I know I can
Be all I can
