I Have a Dream Songtext
von P.J. Proby

Son, before you go to sleep tonight I have a story to tell you
When I was a young boy like yourself I remember a great man sayin′
I have a dream of brotherhood with love for fellow man
And he went on and he said, he said
This home that you call your country, well, will be our promised land
And he told me hand in hand with neighbor
Hand in hand with neighbor we will work
Side by side non-violence is our choice
And the whole wide world will hear our heartbeat
United with just one voice

I know with his power we shall overcome
Our trials and tribulations we shall walk as one
For I've been up on that mountain and I′ve seen his shining face
And he said we are all brothers, just part of the human race


But then son, one day that voice was silenced
And a great fuss spread 'cross the land
But then there arose a whisper, yes, it wasn't too loud
But it was deep down in the heart of every man
You see because the truth, no matter how you bend it or twist it
Cannot be silenced ′cause everyone will remember every word
And the voice became a great big chorus
And the people′s voice was heard singin', listen


(I have a dream of brotherhood)
With love for fellow man
(I have a dream of brotherhood)
This home we call our country will be our promised land
(I have been up on that mountain)
Oh, and I′ve been up on that mountain and I've seen his shining face
And he said we are all brothers, just part of this human race
(I have a dream of brotherhood)
Sing it to me, I love it
(I have a dream of brotherhood)
Lord, Lord, Lord, with love for fellow man
(I have a dream of brotherhood)
And this home we call our country is gonna be our promised land
′Cause I've been up, been up on that mountain
(I have been up on that mountain)
And I′ve seen his smiling face
And he said we are all brothers, just part of this human race
(I have a dream of brotherhood)
Come on
(I have a dream of brotherhood)
