We Are the Children of the Dream

Here we are Here we stand We are living out God's own plan We are the children of the dream I don't need another new year to start a change I am a change I'm not living my life in fear to act out righteously Because honestly The world is a stage And I will be playing out in wonders A dream that a man cried out Like a storm roaring out its thunders that everyone six feet under had heard The call to all is burning and we will not sit still Dr. King inspired Lit our spirits on fire Ignited our courage Set aflame a higher purpose Put to name a greater cause That'll all be worth it And we shall move without pause Without any indication of doubting a change Because if we see things are wrong, they won't be for long We won't expect them to stay the same We are called to dream Dream together, and make it reality Energize a world using our individual vitalities See the change happen gradually Our work will chorus, our work will sing Dream a dream of opportunity and equality Live in solidarity, get rid of disparities We will take the model of Dr. Martin Luther King This message has lasted for more years than I have been alive Which isn't that long but I I always find the time to thank MLK Mr. MLK who had tons to say He said it The words that were left unspoken by his people The words that needed to be heard by all He took those words and stood tall by them And with those words he took his fall But with those words he formed his dream You and I, we are the children of that dream We are meant to carry out that same message Light the world like the stars that gleam down on us Every single day No matter how much time passes, no matter how long it may seem His words will never fade away This message, it brought us something Something we should all know by now it's called equality Yes equality. It is about the quality of that equality and the quantity at which we make an effort to spread it You and I are a change Take the time to think about it This place, the place you've lived in, the place some might have taken for granted Think about how different it would be if he hadn't If hadn't took that stand If he hadn't given us that helping hand Think of the imbalance. The challenges we would face. The faces of the people we might not have been able to meet That have graced our hearts and filled the seats around us I'd like to thank you Mr. King For filling our world with more opportunity Now it is our duty, Our call to keep living out the dream because We are the children of the dream We are the children of the words spoken by Martin Luther King And as the children it is our mission to keep it going Keep on showing love for our brothers and sisters For all of the women and the misters Keep that love going strong It took the action of one man and like a chain reaction we will rid the world of evil one malefaction at a time Know someone that needs your help? Be there. Have a friend that isn't doing so well? Be there. See someone that you don't know? A person that has fallen on the side of the street, a person that doesn't have anything to eat, a person on the bus in need of a seat, a person who looks down that you can warmly greet. Be there for them. Be there for all of them. Because we are the children of the same thing Call us a band, a family, a movement, a team It is rooted in our hearts To rid the pollution of inconsiderate remarks That fill this world, This beautiful world Bring peace, Bring love, Bring the art The art of yourself Brighten the world with yourself Because that's all you need We are the children of the dream.
