Sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
From every mountainside, let freedom ring
My four little children will one day live in a nation
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania
Who stand on the threshold into the palace where we go
Though it impossible it seems, I have a dream
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York
I have dream, a dream that one day
Default on its promises gave citizens of all
We will sing, "My country 'tis of thee
In the words of the old Negro spiritual
Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado
Will be able to join hands and sing
'Cause I have a dream
But not only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia
But there is something I must say to my people
The autumn of freedom the year of 1963
When all of God's children, black men and white men
Sweet land of liberty", freedom will ring, will ring
With white boys and girls and we'll stand sisters and brothers
Where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi
And see the truth of this creed and equal all men will be
Black boys and black girls will join hands
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire
But a beginning of the end of will be
Yes, I have dream, a dream that one day
The Emancipation that brought a beacon light of hope
'Cause I have a dream
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true
The flame of injustice and now a hundred years have passed
Mountains and hills be made low
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee
I have a dream, a dream that one day with a new meaning
It seems I have a dream
Will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood
Till His glory is seen, I have a dream
I have a dream
Yes, I have dream, a dream that one day
Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last
'Cause I have a dream
And all the world is told the crooked's been made straight
The Negro is still not free and though impossible
Let's not be guilty of violence and wrong deeds
To plenty of slaves who had been seared called Negroes
Black boys and black girls will join hands
I have dream, a dream that one day this nation will rise up
That all men be guaranteed pursuit of happiness, pride of life
And now we must demand our right to be free
Mountains and hills be made low
Freedom will ring 'cause I have a dream
With white boys and girls and we'll stand sisters and brothers
Till His glory is seen, I have a dream
And liberty a check of independence cash and decree
I have dream, a dream that one day
To overlook the urgency, it would be fatal to deny equality
And all the world is told the crooked's been made straight
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics
But it is obvious America's at fault
And now today we must face the true tragic facts
The Constitution reads and gives the promise
