Dreamin.


I have a dream today, Yo tengo un sueño hoy, That one day, freedom will ring, Beyond the confides of law Or Government, Over the hilltops of slavery and Of Oppression. A new skin beyond our own, Endowed and as equal, Beyond what is shown. Whilst, each and every day We are dreaming: Dicha libertad timbrará! That freedom will ring! For, in the immortal words of Rosa, Estamos cansados! We are tired! For, in the immortal words of Malcolm, Que estoy por la verdad de! I am for the truth! No matter who tells it. Black, white, brown, yellow Negro, Red Neck, Wet Back, Chink, I am the truth, and nothing more, I am the tiredness we feel when The freedom we hunger for is ignored. I am the dream of freedom, Yo soy el sueños de libertad, I am the suffering of every one, Yo soy el sufrimiento de todo el mundo, I am the hope and aspiration, la esperanza y la aspiración, That one day, un dia, We will stand together. Y unir.
