[Chorus: will.i.am] + (Sample from Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech)
(I have a dream) I got a dream
(That one day) We're gonna work it out
(That one day) We're gonna work it out
(That one day) We're gonna work it out
(Repeat 2x)

(I have a dream) I got a dream
(That one day) That one day
(That one day) I'ma look deep within myself, I gotta find a better way
(I have a dream)

[Bridge: will.i.am]
My dream is to be free
My dream is to be...
My dream is to be...
My dream is to be free

[Common]
The search of brighter days, I might be amazed of the madness
Strugglers my address, where pain and crack lives
Gunshots coming from sounds of blackness
Given this game with no time to practice
Born on the black list, told I'm below average
A life with no carriage
That's no money if you're from where I'm from
Funny, I just want some of your son
Dark clouds seem to follow me
Alcohol that my pops swallowed bothered me, no apologies
I walk with a boulder on my shoulder
It's a cold war, I'm a colder soldier
Hold the same fight that made Martin Luther the King
I ain't using it for the right thing
In between leaning the fiends, hustling schemes
I put together pieces of a dream, I still have one

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Common]
The world see me looking in the mirror
Images of me getting much clearer
Dear self, I wrote a letter just to better my soul
If I don't express, then forever I hold
Inside, I'm from the side where we out of control
Rap music in the hood play the fatherly role
My stories like yours, yo it gotta be told
Try to make it from a gangsta to a Dalia robe
Where it scrolls and and stow slaves, and Jewish people in cold cage
Hate has no color or age
Flip the page, now my race became freedom
Write dreams in the dark, they far but I can see 'em
I believe in heaven more than hell, lessons more than jail
In the ghetto, let love prevail with a story to tell
My eyes see the glory, and well
The world waiting for me to yell "I Have A Dream"

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
