Lyrics
I Still Have a Dream <br />
by Danny Ray and Marsha Stevens <br />
I still have a dream of that day of justice bright, <br />
My beacon of hope in a long despairing night, <br />
A day when all people together will unite, <br />
I have a dream, I still have a dream. <br />
I dream of a land where all children can be free <br />
To grow and mature into what they're meant to be, <br />
To love whom they love with no fear of penalty, <br />
I have a dream, I still have a dream. <br />
<br />
We are given now this moment to decide, <br />
Let a vision of the future be our guide, <br />
From this dream that never dies, they will hear our joyful cries <br />
From each city and each valley and each mountainside... <br />
(Chorus) <br />
Let freedom ring, let it soar, <br />
Let freedom sound from north to south and shore to shore, <br />
May the justice we require build within our hearts a fire, <br />
Join your hands, love demands <br />
Let freedom ring! <br />
<br />
I dream of a home where our differences will be <br />
A strength, not a weakness, with no apology, <br />
Our struggle for freedom, our common destiny, <br />
I have a dream, I still have a dream. <br />
Till justice rolls down like an ever-flowing stream <br />
Our hearts to refresh and our suff'ring to redeem, <br />
May all of God's children embrace this noble theme, <br />
I have a dream, I still have a dream. <br />
<br />
Though the skies ahead are sometimes overcast, <br />
We can see the sunlight's promise has not past, <br />
From its rainbow colors spring the victorious song we sing, <br />
Free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last. <br />
<br />
(CHORUS x 2) <br />
