[Verse 1] They called me into the office, said, "Take a seat, my friend, Your time here is over, this is the bitter end." But I stood tall and steady, my voice began to rise, And I looked them in the eyes with fire they couldn’t disguise. I said, "You can take my paycheck, you can take my chair, But I’ll stand for justice, no matter when or where. You’ve built your kingdom on someone else’s stream, But I’ll tear it down, ‘cause I still have a dream!" [Pre-Chorus] "I have a dream," I cried aloud, "Where workers' rights are safe and proud. Where no one’s silenced, no one’s small, And justice reigns for us all!" [Chorus] You can cut my pay, take my keycard away, But you can’t strip my spirit at the end of the day. You might fire me, but you can’t take my scream, 'Cause I still believe, I still have a dream! The office walls will shake with my shout, No room for silence, I’ll call them out. Freedom will ring, as loud as it seems, 'Cause I still believe, I still have a dream! [Verse 2] The HR team looked shaken, the manager turned red, But I quoted Dr. King with words they’d never read. "An injustice anywhere is a threat everywhere!" I saw their faces tighten—they didn’t even care. "Darkness can’t drive out darkness; only light can," I said as they mumbled, "Get this guy off the plan." But the louder I shouted, the more their fear did gleam, For I stood unshaken, ‘cause I still have a dream! [Pre-Chorus] They can’t lock me out, they can’t shut me up, I’m drinking justice from an overflowing cup. The arc of history bends, it’s not as long as it seems, And I’ll bend it further—I have a dream! [Chorus] You can cut my pay, take my keycard away, But you can’t strip my spirit at the end of the day. You might fire me, but you can’t take my scream, 'Cause I still believe, I still have a dream! The office walls will shake with my shout, No room for silence, I’ll call them out. Freedom will ring, as loud as it seems, 'Cause I still believe, I still have a dream! [Bridge] Oh, one voice turns to many, the echoes start to grow, From the cubicles to factories, they’re taking back control. We’ll rise as one, and we’ll sing this theme, For every worker who still has a dream! "No justice, no peace," let the chorus ignite, We’ll march together into the night. [Chorus – Extended] You can cut my pay, take my keycard away, But you can’t strip my spirit at the end of the day. You might fire me, but you can’t take my scream, 'Cause I still believe, I still have a dream! The office walls will shake with my shout, No room for silence, I’ll call them out. Freedom will ring, as loud as it seems, 'Cause I still believe, I still have a dream!
