there was a place with no pollution
where people threw their trash right where it belonged
i had a dream

a doctor found a cure for cancer
a scientist said no to designing a bomb
i had a dream

that every person took the subway
and families were allowed to have only one car
i had a dream

i met this young american soldier
who traded in his gun for a twelve string guitar
i had a dream

there was no blood in any movie
there were no shootings on the 11 o’clock news
i had a dream

that record stores weren’t segregated
that every kid was listening to rhythm & blues
i had a dream

there was no danger in the city
that every man who slept on the street could go home
i had a dream

i called up my good friend bob dylan
he said to me that every voice is its own
i had a dream
