Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, I step up on the mic, this is MLK,
Got a dream in my heart and I'm here to say,
From the mountaintop, I see a brighter day,
Where freedom rings and oppression fades away.
Hundred years passed, still ain’t free,
Chains unbroken, can’t let it be,
Segregation, pain, and poverty,
In the land of the brave, land of the free.
[Chorus]
I got a dream, it’s vivid and bold,
Equality for all, young and old,
Justice rolling like a mighty stream,
Let’s unite, live the dream.
[Verse 2]
On the red hills of Georgia, sons of slaves,
Rise together, break the chains and pave,
A path to freedom, no more delay,
Brotherhood blooming, new world’s day.
In Alabama, with its vicious hate,
Boys and girls, no need to wait,
Hand in hand, no fear, just faith,
Standing tall, open the gates.
[Chorus]
I got a dream, it’s vivid and bold,
Equality for all, young and old,
Justice rolling like a mighty stream,
Let’s unite, live the dream.
[Bridge]
I have a dream, one day we’ll rise,
See the glory through these tired eyes,
Out of despair, our hope flies,
Lift our voices, touch the skies.
No more judgment by skin's hue,
Content of character, we stay true,
Sit at the table, me and you,
Together, see this vision through.
[Chorus]
I got a dream, it’s vivid and bold,
Equality for all, young and old,
Justice rolling like a mighty stream,
Let’s unite, live the dream.
[Outro]
From the mountains, let freedom ring,
In every heart, let freedom sing,
When we let it echo, hear the sound,
We’re free at last, love unbound.
Free at last, free at last,
Thank God Almighty, we’re free at last!
