I Had a Dream
R. Kelly | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heard 'em say man wasn't made to fly
And when he wanted to go to the moon,
They said he wouldn't make it past the sky
And with all odds against him
They said he'd never reach his goal
Said he didnt have the strength
To travel that long road
But I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
That I made history
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
Now the dream is real to me

Heard 'em say that the mountain couldn't be climbed
And whenever there's an underdog
They count him out everytime
Somebody say that the storm will never en'
And in the crunch of the game
They said that there's no way that team could win

But I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
That I made history
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
Now the dream is real to me

When the battle seems lost
And all your strength is gone
Just know that the winds are faithful
In carrying you home
Just believe in the power
The power of Love

I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream
That I made history
I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream




Now the dream is real to me
[x2]

This man can do it all. Best R&B Artist out there.

expoet

He does the ballads better than some of the greats. He has hits for days that haven't been released. He has a mixtape of songs out to promote his new album. He could have a radio station with all his hits just playing all day! I haven't even mentioned all the awards, the gold and platnuim records, all the songs he has written for other artists that have blown up.....and lets not forget all the remixes to his own songs and others ....

Katongo Nkhata
