I Have a Dream
U.S.G Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All masks thrown down.
All cards face up.
All I have is on the table.
Naked, unveiled and now clearly seen.
Lord, you know me inside and out.
Where will a man hide from your eyes?
You are my God my savior and over the world.
Your hand guides us, protects us.
Your sword delivers us.
Intimacy, transparency.
Open because you made me pure.




Alive because you made me pure.
I'm special because you made me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of U.S.G's song I Have A Dream speak about being vulnerable and transparent before God, having all one's secrets and flaws laid bare for Him to see. The lines "All masks thrown down. All cards face up. All I have is on the table. Naked, unveiled and now clearly seen" paint a picture of complete openness, revealing everything that might have previously been hidden.


The song reflects on the power and omniscience of God, acknowledging that there is nowhere a man can hide from his sight. The line "Where will a man hide from your eyes?" highlights the futility of trying to conceal one's true self from a higher power, who is all-knowing and all-seeing.


However, the lyrics also show a sense of comfort and security in surrendering oneself to God, recognizing that He is the ultimate guide and protector. The lines "You are my God my savior and over the world. Your hand guides us, protects us. Your sword delivers us" express a deep trust in God's ability to lead and protect His people.


The final lines of the song emphasize the idea that we are all special and unique because of God's creation, as it says: "Intimacy, transparency. Open because you made me pure. Alive because you made me pure. I'm special because you made me." It suggests that by embracing our true selves and having faith in God, we can find meaning and purpose in our lives.

I'm for some reason only seeing this now.. Wow Tom what a video.. I absolutely loved your real-life assessment on implementing unifi into my network.

This is something I've been considering since I've started building my homelab network. It's a big step when researching something that will totally change how I control my network.

I come from a windows background and have just recently become familiar enough with linux to implement it in my homelab. And absolutely loving it 🙂

Thank you for this video.. It's exactly the type of well presented content people want and need!

Kudos to you sir..

Update: Per the notes for the upcoming version of UniFi OS - Dream Machines 1.11.0-15 they have "Allow to set up console without SSO account" listed under improvements.

@Lawrence Systems Sounds good. I thought they would have updated features etc now with uxg out. Thanks anyways.

Lawrence Systems

@Stuart J Nothing has changed

Stuart J

Can you please do an update video. Thanks.

I use their APs and some switches but will never touch their unifi gateways. It is simply not competitive price and feature wise. The Edge routers are better for similar money.

Can u change the DNS, APN, and Add a SIM card ??

I'm relatively new to setting up my home network and am not an IT person professionally. I got the UDM last year based on Tom's previous videos and have so far learned a lot. I've since found that the UI seems to constantly change, and there are a few other things that are annoying, but for a beginner it's been a good gateway to wanting more eventually.

I would recommend it to people interested in diving into the system, and if I had to get something up and running quickly, I'd consider getting it again. That said, I do want to graduate to pfsense at some point when I do more with a homelab. For college students who might move around a bunch, the UDM seems to be excellent.

I’m a home user and I’m pretty happy with the Unifi equipment. I hav e the UDM Pro, 24 port pro switch and the 8 port 150 watt Poe switch. I’ve got five vlans and it does what I want it to do.

My biggest complaint is the dual personality of having to use two different gui’s to get things done. Ubiquity should pick one, get it developed and then release it and stop with the constant confusion of where features are now, but the next update moves them somewhere else. They need to go to one gui.

the biggest needed feature in my opinion is scheduled restarts of aps and other devices, Ive had aps get a little screwy after months of runtimes and simple restart fixes them. Theres work arounds for it but it needs to be a feature in the controller software

The UDM has been great for me, there aren't too many features I'd like (although i'd like better DPI stats and more info on the IPS/IDS) but the wifi (and the ability to easily add an AP and switch) with the single pane has been great for a noob user.
