I have A Dream
Martin Luther King Jr.
I have a dream
That one day
This nation will rise
And live out the true meaning of its creed
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,
That all men are created equal.”
I have a dream
That on day on the red hills of Georgia
The sons of former slaves
And the sons of former slave holders
Will be able to sit down together
At the table of human brotherhood
I have a dream
That one day
Even the state of Mississippi
A state sweltering with the heat of oppression
Will be transformed
Into an oasis for freedom and justive
I have a dream
That my four little children
Will one day live in a nation
Where they will not be judged
By the colour of their skin
But by the content of their character
I have a dream
That one day
Every valley shall be exalted
Every hill and mountain shall be made low,
The rough places will be made plain
And the crooked place will be made straight,
And the glory of the lord shall be revealed
And all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope.
