Lyrics
A sea of shining faces,
tears of joy in their eyes
gathered in this place
to finally say goodbye
to a history of lies...
*Wisdom from the Past
(I have a dream)
Words that will last
(I have a dream)
We shall overcome,
(I have a dream)
Yes We Can.
Waited for so long
to sing this freedom song,
so many've come before --
the weight of their hearts and hands,
pushed open this door.*
The audacity of hope,
to sing a song yet sung,
the wave of relief
at the measure and the scope
of the change that is to come.*
