I Had a Dream

If you wanna lead, be a leader

If you wanna dream, be a dreamer

Climb to the top of that mountain and scream it

But remember when you get to the top

Everything you say is gonna matter

Everything you do is gonna add up

It's what you asked for

So don't get mad when it's not what you thought

Careful now girl with them Jezebel ways

Crown on your head, but you're queen of clichés

Little one playing with the big boys now

Hope you're ready when it comes back around

I had a dream that we were more

A generation to behold

Lighting fires with our words

Instead of useless smoke that blurs

The lines of right and wrong

Expression that lives on

An army with a song

That lingers when we're gone

I had a dream

If you wanna preach be a preacher

If you wanna teach be a teacher

Remember that the footprints you're leaving

Will tell us all who you really are

It's too bad you can't see what you're worth

Spreading your legs instead of using your words

Character is shown by the things that we do

The one thing you're never gonna hide is the truth

'Cause anyone can sell when they're selling out

And anyone can fly when they're falling down

I had a dream that we were more

A generation to behold

Lighting fires with our words

Instead of useless smoke that blurs

The lines of right and wrong

Expression that lives on

An army with a song

That lingers when we're gone

I had a dream

I had a dream

I had a dream that we were more (I had a dream that we were more)

A generation to behold (to behold)

Lighting fires with our words (lighting fires with our words)

Instead of useless smoke that blurs

The lines of right and wrong

Expression that lives on (lives on)

An army with a song

That lingers when we're gone (when we're gone)

I had a dream

I had a dream

I had a dream

I had a dream
