Lyrics I Have A Dream - Bebe Winans
Five
score
years
ago
a
Great
American
sign
and
proclaimed
you
know
The
Emancipation
that
brought
a
beacon
light
of
hope
to
plenty
of
slaves
who
had
been
seared
called
Negroes
The
flame
of
injustice
and
now
a
hundred
years
have
passed
and
now
today
we
must
face
the
true
tragic
facts
The
Negro
is
still
not
free
and
though
impossible
it
seems
I
Have
A
Dream
The
Constitution
reads
and
gives
the
promise
that
all
men
be
guaranteed
Pursuit
of
happiness,
pride
of
life
and
liberty
a
check
of
independence
cash
and
decree.
But
it
is
obvious
America′s
at
fault,
default
on
its
promises
gave
citizens
of
all
And
now
we
must
demand
our
right
to
be
free
'cause
I
have
a
dream.
I
have
dream.
A
dream
that
one
day
Black
boys
and
black
girls
will
join
hands
White
boys
and
girls
and
we′ll
stand
sisters
and
brothers.
Yes
I
have
dream.
A
dream
that
one
day,
mountains
and
hills
be
made
low
And
all
the
world
is
told
the
crooked's
been
made
straight.
Till
His
glory
is
seen
. I
have
a
dream.
To
overlook
the
urgency,
it
would
be
fatal
to
deny
equality.
The
autumn
of
freedom
the
year
of
1963,
but
a
beginning
of
the
end
of
will
be.
But
there
is
something
I
must
say
to
my
people
.Who
stand
on
the
threshold
into
the
palace
where
we
go.
Let's
not
be
guilty
of
violence
and
wrong
deeds.
Cause
I
have
a
dream.
I
have
dream.
A
dream
that
one
day
This
nation
will
rise
up
and
see
the
truth
of
this
creed
and
equal
all
men
will
be.
I
have
a
dream.
A
dream
that
one
day,
With
a
new
meaning
we
will
sing,
My
country
′tis
of
thee,
sweet
land
of
liberty.
Freedom
will
ring,
will
ring,
cause
I
have
a
dream.
MLK:
And
if
America
is
to
be
a
great
nation,
this
must
become
true.
So
let
freedom
ring
from
the
prodigious
hilltops
of
New
Hampshire.
Let
freedom
ring
from
the
mighty
mountains
of
New
York.
Let
freedom
ring
from
the
heightening
Alleghenies
of
Pennsylvania!
Let
freedom
ring
from
the
snowcapped
Rockies
of
Colorado!
Let
freedom
ring
from
the
curvaceous
peaks
of
California!
But
not
only
that;
let
freedom
ring
from
Stone
Mountain
of
Georgia!
Let
freedom
ring
from
Lookout
Mountain
of
Tennessee!
Let
freedom
ring
from
every
hill
and
every
molehill
of
Mississippi.
From
every
mountainside,
let
freedom
ring.
I
have
dream.
A
dream
that
one
day
Black
boys
and
black
girls
will
join
hands
White
boys
and
girls
and
we′ll
stand
sisters
and
brothers.
Yes!
I
have
dream.
A
dream,
a
dream
that
one
day
mountains
and
hills
be
made
low
And
all
the
world
is
told
the
crooked's
been
made
straight.
Till
His
glory
is
seen
. I
have
a
dream.
Freedom
will
ring,
cause
I
have
a
dream.
Though
it
impossible
it
seems.
I
have
a
dream.
MLK:
Sons
of
former
slaves
and
the
sons
of
former
slave-owners
will
be
able
to
sit
down
together
at
a
table
of
brotherhood.
I
have
a
dream!
When
all
of
God′s
children,
black
men
and
white
men,
Jews
and
Gentiles,
Protestants
and
Catholics,
will
be
able
to
join
hands
and
sing
in
the
words
of
the
old
Negro
spiritual,
"Free
at
last!
free
at
last!
thank
God
Almighty,
we
are
free
at
last!"
My
four
little
children
will
one
day
live
in
a
nation
where
they
will
not
be
judged
by
the
color
of
their
skin
but
by
the
content
of
their
character.
I
have
a
dream
today!
