V.1

Lead:

I was thinking the other day
about how the world has changed,
but still so much the same

BGV:

How did we go wrong?

Lead:

I thought of Dr. King,
a man who had a dream.
and laid down his life
fighting for what was right.

BGV:

He had a dream!

Lead:

That one day this nation
would live out its creed.
He had a dream!
BGV:

He had a dream, one day!

Lead:

And because of this dream
a clear path I can see!

V.2

Lead:

under so much stress
the world is such a mess
why keep up the fight

BGV:

Is there an end in sight?

Lead:

Famine, war, strife
so much stress in life
gotta find a way
to bring about a change

BGV:

I have a dream!

Lead:

In a world full of darkness
we’ve gotta find a way to be the light

BGV:

I have a dream, today!

Lead:

From the white house to my house
we’ve gotta stand and let our freedom ring!

(Piano Solo)

BGV:

I have a dream!

Lead:

In a world full of darkness
we’ve gotta find a way to be the light

BGV:

I have a dream, today!

Lead:

From the white house to my house
we’ve gotta stand and let our freedom ring!

V.3

Lead:

Now the choice is yours
to live a life of peace
Take a brother’s hand

BGV:

and let this fighting cease!

Lead:

stand for those who marched
stand for those who died
stand for those who’ve come
and those who have survived

BGV:

Let’s live his dream!

Lead:

We can do something
to let freedom ring!
Let’s live his dream!

BGV:

Let’s live his dream, today!

Lead:

It’s time to get busy
and go to work in your community

BGV:

Let’s live his dream! (4x’s)

Lead:
