I love—the things you do

I want—to see more of you

Come on baby—just calm down

I wish—you’d stick around

Hot stuff

Whoa hot stuff

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

For us, to fight


CHORUS


VERSE 2

Being free to speak your mind

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

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

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
