One Day
Bakermat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have a dream
That one day
This nation will rise up
Live out the true meaning of its creed
We hold these truths to be self-evident
That all men are created equal

I have a dream
That one day on the red hills of Georgia
The sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
Will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood
I have a dream
That one day

That one day
This nation will rise up
Live out the true meaning of its creed

I have a dream
That one day on the red hills of Georgia
The sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners
Will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood




I have a dream
That one day

Overall Meaning

These powerful lyrics, featured in Bakermat's song "One Day," are taken from the iconic speech delivered by civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. on August 28, 1963, during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

The lyrics call for unity, equality, and brotherhood among all people, regardless of race or background. King's speech specifically calls for an end to racial discrimination and segregation, and the lyrics of "One Day" echo this sentiment, painting a hopeful picture of a future in which people of all races can come together and live out the true meaning of America's founding principles.


The repetition of the line "I have a dream" drives home the message of the lyrics, emphasizing the importance of hope, determination, and perseverance in the face of injustice. Bakermat's use of upbeat, melodic instrumentals creates a sense of optimism and joy that only serves to strengthen the song's message of unity and brotherhood.


Overall, the lyrics of "One Day" are a powerful tribute to Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy and a bold call to action for a more just and equitable future.

An evening in summer 2014:
I'm sitting in the garden, the birds are chirping and from far you can hear some children laughing. Meanwhile the sun is going down, dipping everything in an orange light.
In the sky a plane is flying by with people on their way into their well deserved holidays in it.
"One Day (Vandaag)" begins and I'm just...happy.




When I'm stressed again, I listen to this song, close my eyes and think back of this evening. Wonderful.




Ein Abend im Sommer 2014:
Ich sitze draußen im Garten, die Vögel zwitschern und aus der Ferne hört man Kinderlachen. Währenddessen geht die Sonne langsam unter und taucht alles in ein oranges Licht. Am Himmel fliegt ein Flugzeug mit Menschen, die gerade auf dem Weg in ihren wohlverdienten Urlaub sind.
"One Day (Vandaag)" beginnt und ich bin einfach...glücklich.


Wenn ich wieder mal gestresst bin, höre ich mir dieses Lied an, schließe die Augen und denke an diesen einen Abend zurück. Schön.
