There was a man in America

who had a dream they say

that all the peoples of the Earth

could live in peace someday

And when he spoke to the gathered crowds

his heart and soul would sing.

This gracious man, this gentleman.

This Martin Luther King.

"I have a dream,"

this great man used to say.

"I have a dream."

His words would light the way.

The time he lived was a troubled time

when people could not see

in spite of all our diff'rences,

we have the right to be.

And so, he tried to tell us all

his words with peace would ring.

This honest man, this noble man.

This Martin Luther King.

"I have a dream,"

this great man used to say.

"I have a dream."

His words would light the way.

"I have a dream,"

to live in harmony.

"I have a dream."

that all of us are free!

Are free!
