MLK

Had a dream, seen a march in the pouring rain, Young souls carrying hope through the hurt and pain. Grandma said, “Keep your faith, don’t let hatred steer,” Still we see old ghosts whispering in our ears. Different skin, same tears when the night’s too long, Trying to find a place where we all belong. History in the books, but it’s living still, Justice ain’t a destination, it’s a constant hill. (Hook) Had a dream, thought the world would change, Hearts would heal, love would break the chains. Still we rise, even through the screams, Holding on to the light from that dream. Had a dream, now we carry the flame, Every child deserves more than pain. We keep hope when the sky turns gray, ’Cause tomorrow starts with what we say. (Verse 2) Martin spoke from a mountain where the truth stood tall, Said, “Judge the soul, not the color”—that was for us all. Years went by, but the scars still show, Different streets, same fight, just a different road. Can’t erase every page with a single speech, Freedom’s something every generation has to reach. So I’m planting these words like they’re seeds in the ground, Hoping peace grows louder than the anger around. (Bridge) No revenge in my heart, just a reason to build, Every bridge that we make is another wound healed. If we listen before we divide and condemn, Maybe hope starts again, maybe hope starts again. (Final Hook) Had a dream, let it echo on, Long after the night, into every dawn. Hand in hand, let the future see, Love is stronger than our history. Had a dream, and I’m still believing, Even when the world’s misleading. One day we’ll be what we claim to be, Standing together, finally free.
