[Verse] The steps were stone but his voice was fire He lit the sky Lifted us higher With a dream Oh a dream so wide It shook the chains It turned the tide [Chorus] I have a dream I have a call To break the silence To break the walls A dream of justice A world redeemed I have a dream Oh I have a dream [Verse 2] He spoke of mountains made low and plain Of valleys rising Of ending pain With words like thunder He made it clear That love is stronger than hate or fear [Prechorus] Let freedom ring From every hill Let freedom sing It always will [Chorus] I have a dream I have a call To break the silence To break the walls A dream of justice A world redeemed I have a dream Oh I have a dream [Bridge] He saw the chains But he saw them fall He heard the cries He heard them all The arc of time bends toward the right And he marched on Through the darkest night
