ladies and gentlemen
fellow americans, lady americans
this is a very unusual way of coming to you this evening
the song is dedicated to the late dr. martin luther king jr
entitled “a black man’s dream”
i had a dream the other night
as i was sitting in my living room
thinkin’ about how i’m gonna pay some bills
and i dozed off to sleep and i started dreaming
i dreamed i walked into a place
and there were 5 different races of men
sitting around a large table, talking to each other
they was brown, yellow, red, white and black
i dreamed the black man stood up and started talking
he said, “i came to america without a passport”
he said, “ever since then, i’ve been treated like a dog”
he said, “my hair’s nothing but wooly like a lamb
feet like brass, eyes like fire but i’m still a man
and lord knows it’s true”
he said, “america, if you don’t change your way of doing
i’m gonna show you too”
he said, “you thought because i was born in alabama
that i was a fool
you said mississippi and georgia
would never the golden rules
sure, i came from alabama
went north, east, west
but now i stay in alabama
birmingham gon’ be the best
america, you said this would never be
took a long time coming and now everybody can see
all through the wars
vietnam, world war ii, iraq
i fought on the battlefield
died, k!lled for america
and still you don’t think i’m real
i worked on your fields from sun up to sun down
planted cotton, chopped cotton, picked cotton
and still you don’t think i’m real
change, america, change
don’t be just a big ding~a~ling
if you don’t put an end to this once and for all
i’m afraid everybody in america’s gonna fall
change, america, change
change, america
america, if you don’t change your way of doing
you are going straight to h~ll!
h~ll! h~ll! until you are dead
aaaaahhhhh!
change, america, change
