Dreamer Once there was a Dreamer Once there lived a Man Had a Dream A Prince of Peace Son of God was he A Prophet of Strength to Love Once there lived a Dreamer Once there was a Man Had a Dream Nobel Prizewinner Had a Heav'ly vision Of Equality and Brotherhood Once there lived a Dreamer But Dreamin wasn't all that he did He marched and pryaed All cross this land To be beaten jailed betrayed And Ultimately shot and killed So he's gone but I know he's listenin' And today I got a question for him O Dreamer be you still Dreamin'? O Dreamer, do you still Have a Dream? Still believe Slaves and masters sons and daughters Can sit together in brotherhood? Marcher You still steppin for the good Eyes on the PRize Singin sweet hymns from above Lover You still got the strength to love? Folks so proud stiffnecked unrepentant If you can forgive Good Ole boyz Usin your face for target practice Then for real You got love of Steel Since you died Violence still as American as Cherry pie Would you still preach love Or the fire this time Hypocrites sell your posters On the day of your birth I was there when God help us all \ They wouldn't even let you speak in they church Maestro You still conductin a symphony of equality Prayer You prayin they stop judgin your grandchildren By the color of their skin Healer is you feelin good When what's ringin from the hilltops of New Hampshire and the Mighty Mountains of New York and the Alleghenies of Pennsylvania and the Rockies of Colorado and the Appalachins and the slopes of California Is the hate raves of talkradio Martin When you look down from the right hand of God Almighty where I know you are today and see Mammon is religions And the Truth is a Lie And the word is get yours I got mine Show me the cash Is only the dead free at last I gotta ask O Martin Do you still Have a Dream?
