I Have A Dream
Reuben Kigame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have a dream Of a nation of the Lord
Where people love to speak the truth And live in peace
Where love and justice fall like morning rain
Where the word of God Is read and practiced everywhere
I have a dream, dream, dream
How I always want to dream, dream, dream
It will soon be here
I have a dream
That it will be so
Every day I wanna dream, dream, dream
Till I can dream no more
I have a dream Where all children go to school
Where the guilty are condemned And the innocent defended
Where none will die from biting poverty
And where none lives In loneliness grief or pain
I have a dream That the lion and the lamb
Could move as one and graze as one Through the thorny shrubs
Yes I know That my dream will come to pass some day
When the Lord descends And rules the world with glory and peace
