I HAVE A DREAM,TOO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M GOING TO TELL MINE.

I have a dream this nation will one day not have a corrupt society. We based our beliefs in equality and liberty. Our fore fathers came up with the idea to break away from England and create our own country. For the land of the free. With that, we had a good start to the beginning of this nation. But the idea of equality has withered into a tiny flame that only being fed by the middle and low class citizens. The people who control this nation are making deals for money in their bank accounts. I want the citizens that elected this country’s officials to be more involved in government and know actually what’s going on with our country. To many secrets are kept and it leaves us wondering.

But most of all, I have a dream that people will realize the harsh reality we live in and understand that there will never be a time when all people are going to come together. Everyone will have their own opinions and we can't agree to disagree because nothing would get done and most people would submit to their stubborn ways. We need to know that all of our dreams will never fully come true. Sacrifices have to be made and that is what it takes to live. There are too many perspectives to come up with one that everyone agrees on.

Yes, there is room for change in all of us, but we have to know there will be struggles to that change. media type="file" key="Common_ft._Will.i.am_-_I_have_a_dream_[topinweb_com].mp3" width="240" height="20"

I Have A Dream By Common ft. Will.I.Am Lyrics: [Chorus - Will.i.am and Martin Luther King] (I am happy...I Have a Dream) I got a Dream (That One Day ) Were gonna work it out out out (That One Day ) Were gonna work it out out out (That One Day ) Were gonna work it out (I Have a Dream) I got a Dream (That One Day ) Were gonna work it out out out (That One Day ) Were gonna work it out out out (That One Day ) Were gonna work it out (I Have a Dream) I got a Dream (That One Day) That one day (That One Day) I'ma look deep within myself (I Have a Dream) I gotta find a way... My Dream Is To Be Free My Dream Is To Be My Dream Is To Be  My Dream Is To Be Free

[Verse 1] In search of brighter days, I ride through the maze of the madness, Struggle is my address, where pain and crack lives, Gunshots comin' from sounds of Blackness, Given this game with no time to practice, Born on the Black list, told I'm below average, A life with no cabbage, That's no money if you from where I'm from, Funny, I just want some of your sun Dark clouds seem to follow me, Alcohol that my pops swallowed bottled me, No apology, I walk with a boulder on my shoulder, It's a Cold War - I'm a colder soldier, Hold the same fight that made Martin Luther the King,

I ain't usin' it for the right thing, In between Lean and the fiens, hustle and the schemes, I put together pieces of a Dream I still have one

[Chorus]

[Verse 2] The world's seen me lookin' in the mirror, Images of me, gettin' much clearer, Dear Self, I wrote a letter just to better my soul, If I don't express it then forever I'll hold, inside I'm from a side where we out of control, Rap music in the 'hood played a fatherly role, My story's like yours, yo it gotta be told, Tryna make it from a gangsta to a godlier role, Read scrolls and stow slaves, And Jewish people in cold cage, Hate has no color or age, flip the page, Now my rage became freedom, Writin' dreams in the dark, they far but I can see 'em, I believe in Heaven more than Hell, Blessings more than jail, In the ghetto let love prevail,

The world waitin' for me to yell "I Have a Dream" [Chorus]

Why I choose it: In the lyrics it tells all the things that people want, what we strive for, and what we need. It tells truth and has MLK Jr. in the background.
