The Lyrics

Here's a song about the 1963 speech I Have a Dream.
What do I do to make you smile
You've been hurting for a while
What can I do to make you wake
Get Martin Luther King's speech

What's that distance in your freedom
Has your faith been in society
What can I do to help you sleep
I'll work hard and work for dreams

Sometimes it's nothing but the way you're speaken
And that's not your fault
We're all having a dream with the speech
And the fear we're taught

Now you've got this message
Who couldn't stay to see the end
He had somewhere else to be
Cut him down and burn the text

There's no way in black and white
And I can't comprehend your talk
But I got arms and I got ears
And I will always be right here

Sometimes its nothing but the way you were spoke
And that could've been best
And I see you suffering through the way of days
Still you're putting me first

What do I do to let you know
That MLK had to speak with dream
Let him dance around our room
Let him smell of your kings

Share your best remember whens
And if he comes through here again
Maybe he could make you talk
Bring Martin Luther King's speech
I Have a Dream!
