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 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.
