And the Dream Goes On

There was a man who had a dream A long long time ago, The Reverend Martin Luther King I'm sure you all do know, For a United America Where every color and race, Sharing all things equally In this beautiful place. Then there was Bob Kennedy Some forty years ago Who said that in forty years time Our President might be *****, Well he was shot down in his prime And never lived to see, A Black man in the White House He predicted so truly. So America we've lived to see That some dreams do come true, And with Obama at the helm Our faith has been renewed, He is a true American Part African part white, He knows the struggles of the poor We know he'll do what's right. Will he be perfect? No he won't 'Cause not a man can be, He'll make mistakes like others did And they'll be fixed, you'll see, We'll just step back, give him a chance Let's see him walk the walk, His campaign slogan was for change And he talked a great talk. So Black and White people unite Asians, Hispanics too, And every race in this great land Rallied together true, It was a lovely sight to see Them go from door to door, Asking Americans to choose Democracy once more. So Americans are fired up And all ready to go, Into a new direction now Not waiting for tomorrow, And so this awesome dream lives on And we are proud to see, This is a true United States We're in good company.
