I have a dream One day This nation will rise up Live out the true meaning of its creed 'Coz I have a dream! One day live in a nation Where they will not be judged by the color of their skin But by the content of their character I have a dream, today! To rise from the dark and desolate valley Of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice Now is the time! To lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice To the solid rock of brotherhood Now is the time! To make justice a reality for all of God's children
