I Had A Dream
By
Curtiss L. Hayes, Jr.
I had a dream
gathered up steam
and then just kept right on rolling
That black and white
no longer did fight
but unity both were extolling
I had a dream
built self-esteem
as I was bold and courageous
I made black and white
walk toward the light
and nobody thought it outrageous
I had a dream
making me deem
giving my life to the cause, providing
Both black and white
scale the height
And climb over the wall that’s dividing
I had a dream
strong as a beam
sturdy and steady as can be
Saw black and white
holding on tight
To the vision that U.S. does mean we
I had a dream
we were a team
Looking out for one or the other
Black and white
with all their might
helping and loving one another
I had a dream
made it seem
I should put what I dreamt in a letter
For black and white
did what was right
things couldn’t be any better
I had a dream
cookies and cream
were on the menu that day
Because black and white
are precious in his sight
and they will be together someday
