Lyrics

I still have a dream of that day of justice bright,
My beacon of hope in a long despairing night,
A day when all people together will unite,
I have a dream, I still have a dream.
I dream of a land where all children can be free
To grow and mature into what they're meant to be,
To love whom they love with no fear of penalty,
I have a dream, I still have a dream.

We are given now this moment to decide,
Let a vision of the future be our guide,
From this dream that never dies, they will hear our joyful cries
From each city and each valley and each mountainside...
(Chorus)
Let freedom ring, let it soar,
Let freedom sound from north to south and shore to shore,
May the justice we require build within our hearts a fire,
Join your hands, love demands
Let freedom ring!

I dream of a home where our differences will be
A strength, not a weakness, with no apology,
Our struggle for freedom, our common destiny,
I have a dream, I still have a dream.
Till justice rolls down like an ever-flowing stream
Our hearts to refresh and our suff'ring to redeem,
May all of God's children embrace this noble theme,
I have a dream, I still have a dream.

Though the skies ahead are sometimes overcast,
We can see the sunlight's promise has not past,
From its rainbow colors spring the victorious song we sing,
Free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last.

(CHORUS x 2)
