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
