I Had A Dream lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you wanna lead, be a leader

If you wanna dream, be a dreamer

Climb to the top of that mountain and scream it

But remember when you get to the top

Everything you say is gonna matter

Everything you do is gonna add up

It's what you asked for

So don't get mad when it's not what you thought

Careful now, girl, with them Jezebel ways

Crown on your head, but you're queen of cliches

Little one playin' with the big boys now

Hope you're ready when it comes back around

[Chorus]

I had a dream that we were born

A generation to behold

Writing fires with our words

Instead of useless smoke that blurs

The lines are writing [?]

Expression that they're told

An army with a sword

That lingers when we're gone

I had a dream

[Verse 2]

If you wanna preach be a preacher

If you wanna teach be a teacher

Remember that the footprints you're leaving

Will tell us all who you really are

It's too bad you can't see what you're worth

Spreadin' your legs 'stead of usin' your words

Character is shown by the things that we do

The one thing you're never gonna hide is the truth

Cause anyone can tell when you're sellin' out

And anyone can fly when they're fallin' down

[Chorus] x2
