The Dream That Faces Reality
Martin Luther King had a dream
That never died over the years
He never gave up his dream
Not even through trials and tears
He fought for what was right
With the people at his heart
Knowing that one day
America would have a new start
Although the dreamer is gone
The dream remains here
We all witnessed the history
The dream came true this year
We now have hope
We do not fear tomorrow
We look back to where we come from
And all of our past sorrow
We are living the dream today
God’s will is taking place
One day we will be looked upon beyond race
But seen for who we are
Inside and out
For people to understand
This is what the dream was about
For equal rights
And freedom for all
For everyone to stand together
And not for one to fall
To never give up hope
Always to believe
No matter how low life takes you
Your hopes and dreams you can achieve
Today, we
Choose hope over fear
A brand new out look
After all these trying years
We remain encouraged
We set our goals high
We can do anything
Our limit beyond the sky
So let’s join hands
And continue to live this dream
We are one people
A family a team
With a dream so big
A people with hope
A family with a vision
A team that knows
What’s in store
And what’s behind
And know that change
Does take time
Take a look at yourself
Find out what you can do
And always remember
CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU!
