[Intro] I have a Dream Under the boards, under the dust I have a Dream A little room that’s still my own [Verse 1] Your blue coat’s hanging by the door Missing button, sleeves worn thin I kept it there for half a year Like it still had something left to give Spring rain’s tapping on the glass Washing flour off the sill I fold the coat and shut the drawer I have a Dream, and I am still [Pre-Chorus] No promises, no open road Just one small step I take alone One more when the morning comes And I don’t owe nobody [Chorus] I have a Dream, I have a Dream A field beyond the iron gate I have a Dream, I have a Dream A life I’m brave enough to make You can keep the keys you took I’ll find another way to go I have a Dream, I have a Dream And I can say it on my own [Verse 2] Your name’s still written on the jar Ink that wouldn’t wash away I turned it round against the wall Wrote my own name in its place Neighbor’s radio playing low While I patched the sleeve I tore Used to wait for you to call Don’t wait by the phone no more [Pre-Chorus] No crown, no hand to pull me through Just the quiet in this room Just the courage to begin With the life I’m standing in [Chorus] I have a Dream, I have a Dream A field beyond the iron gate I have a Dream, I have a Dream A life I’m brave enough to make You can keep the keys you took I’ll find another way to go I have a Dream, I have a Dream And I can say it on my own [Breakdown] I have a Dream When the house is still I have a Dream And I always will [Bridge] Kept the chipped cup, threw out the note Let the cold air through the room You were just a chapter There’s space ahead, room to move [Final Chorus] I have a Dream, I have a Dream A field beyond the iron gate I have a Dream, I have a Dream A life I’m brave enough to make No borrowed keys, no waiting there No shrinking just to fit your frame I have a Dream, I have a Dream And I’ll answer to my name [Outro] I have a Dream The drawer shuts soft I have a Dream And the morning comes
