Our kind of dream

we will sit together
at the table of brotherhood
in a nation where we are judged
by the content of our character
we will sit as equals
sweltering the heat of vicious racists
sweltering the heat of injustice
sweltering the heat of oppression
The true meaning of our creed
will be to join hands together
as exalted brothers and sisters
transformed into an oasis of
freedom and justice
I have a dream that one day
the rough places will be made straight
and the crooked places will be made plain
and we will rise in truths and glory
