Lyrics

A Dreamer’s Dream

Verse1
A dreamer dreamed
Of a promised land
He was our Moses....
He marched... all over this land
Trying to make that dream come true
For me... and for you
A dreamer dreamed

Verse2
A dreamer dreamed
Of... a promised land
He was our Moses
A mighty... mighty man
Let... my people go....
He tried to tell them so...
Let... my... people go...

Bridge:
Black children and white children
Will one day walk hand in hand
Then this world will be a better place
For every... every.... man
Oh... to make that dream come true
For me... and for you
A dreamer dreamed.

Verse3:
That dreamer's dream
Can all come true
I'll do my part...
Can I... count on you?
To make... that dream... reality
Freedom for you and me...
A dreamer dreamed

Run:
A dreamer's dream
A dreamer's dream
A dreamer dreamed
A dreamer dreamed...
