We Have A Dream

about

"But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars."
~MLK, Mountaintop Speech (April 3, 1968)

“What I treasure most in life is being able to dream. During my most difficult moments and complex situations I have been able to dream of a more beautiful future.”
~Rigoberta Menchú Tum (1993 Nobel Peace Prize)

lyrics

We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true
We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true

We have a dream for freedom and peace
the whole earth reconciled
so color my world with love
I wanna live with arms open wide
we're heard the sky must be darkest
for stars to really shine bright
so we'll press on
for redemption draws nigh

We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true
We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true

Keep the dream alive in your eyes
a clear bright vivid vision
don't let your worries or fears
deter your hearts deep hope and devotion
cause even with complexity,
woes of economy and even recession
we still got a whole lot of love
each other and a big imagination, Oh

We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true
We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true

This is not about idealism or illusions
the dream is about holding on
to both wisdom and wonder
It's about getting real, keeping it real
Have the humility to acknowledge
we've all been part of the problem
and we can all be part of the solution
Sometimes giving up our pride
is harder than giving up our lives

We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true
We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true

We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true
We, O, we have a dream
and we'll make it
make it come true
