I HAVE A DREAM TODAY
(speech by Martin Luther King Jr.)
IN MY DREAM
© 2025 Sherman Keene
The sky, the bees, the crops, the seas
The wind, the rains, the plants the bees
Oceans glowing in the night
We all know that it ain’t right
In my dream, we’re all free
No one rules, the world we see
By morning’s light, the world is right
We set it straight, and say good night
Oceans rising day by day
We have to move up hill today
Forests burning in the night
Just needs a tiny spark to light
In my dream, we’re all free
No one rules, the world we see
By morning’s light, the world is right
We set it straight, and say good night
The great man came to us to say
I have a dream today
His words still live although he’s gone
Now we try to carry on
In my dream, we’re all free
No one rules, the world we see
Nothing bad, wakes us at night
We don’t fear, some dreadful plight
In my dream, you love me too
We care and love, each other true
By morning’s light the world is right
We set it straight and say good night
MARTIN LUTHER KING
I still have a dream
It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream
That all men are created equal

Oh the time has come
Stand up for what is right

For us, to fight
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Being free to speak your mind
, Did not come free
Many people had to fight
So–we, could–be–free
Don’t sit on your couch
Sit there and drink your scotch
Stop all the bad–ness that is
On your watch

VERSE 3
There are more of us
Than there are of them
Don’t let the evil people
Win a–gain

They don’t stand a chance
All the good men come out fighting
At first glance
VERSE 4
All the clue-less soldiers
Oh what king stupid’s done
Oh our marching battle
Must be won
January six
Oh I heard the drummin’
Eight people dead
In Wash–ing–ton

OH MY SON
© 2025 Sherman Keene
My father came to me C F
Sayin’ what is this I see? C F
You’re smiling happily C F
A girlfriend could it be? G
Just the other night
We sat by candlelight
She told me it’s alright
To stay with her all night
CHORUS
Oh my son Dm G
Did you find The One C F
Oh . . . oh my son Dm G C
CHORUS
Then one night as we stood
Her kisses were so good
I asked her if she would
She told me that I could
INSTRUMENTAL
I’m happier than before
I married her for sure
Our fa-mi-ly has four
My mom and dad want more
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
My father came to me C F
Sayin’ what is this I see? C F
You’re smiling happily C F
A girlfriend could it be? G
CHORUS
WONDERING
© 2025 by Sherman Keene
Once-upon-a-time when I, left, you
There was nothing else that, I, could, do
I missed you when you went a–way
I always hoped you’d come back, one day
I was turning around to you
Wondering what you’d do
Each time it was some–thing new
My love for you grew and grew
Now that those times are in, the, past
I–wish–I–could–go–back and make, them, last
The world we live in is fall–ing down
Each time, that, I, look a–round
I was turning around to you
Wondering what you’d do
Each time • it was • some–thing • brand • new • to • me
Once-upon-a-time when I, left, you
There–was–nothing–else–that–I, could, do
I missed you when–you went a–way
I always hoped you’d, come back, one day
Say goodbye—don’t cry
Say goodbye to me
Say goodbye—don’t cry
Say goodbye to me
Once-upon-a-time when I, loved, you
Once-upon-a-time when I, loved, you
