The Dream - Jae Lee Lyrics Rap 1 You wake up in the morning, everyday Different from everyone else despite what you say You grab your things get ready and prepare to leave Preparing to go to school which may be miles away But it's nothing new, it's like this everyday At the gates of the school always turned away Governor Orval Faubus, threatening with violence Using the national guard to keep us out while the president remains silent Yeah, the world's changing around us People are now taking steps to elevate us to normal status We had many great civil rights leaders like "Abraham, Martin, and John" Who did many things for us although now they are gone just like in the song by Dion every passing moment is spent "Saying it Loud" because like James Brown "I'm Black and I'm Proud"

(0:49) I need some more rights just like you I need some more rights just like you I need some more rights just like you I need some more rights just like you

(1:08) break Rap 2 (1:18) People marching down the streets of DC Doing all they can just to be free Together they march singing a song Fighting a force singing "We Shall Overcome" There's always a battle raging on all the streets At our graduation no one rises out their seats Life for us was hard, yet we've done so much Sit-ins, bus rides, nonviolent protests and such Fighting violence with nonviolence Despite the hoses, dogs, raging police or spitting mobs Protecting all those who support our cause Marching hand in hand believing we can Change the world, with our own hands So here we are to acknowledge what we have And like all others "I Have a Dream" Just like civil rights leader Martin Luther King

Chorus (1:57) I need some more rights just like you I need some more rights just like you I need some more rights just like you I need some more rights just like you

Chorus w/ Rap (2:17) It seems that no matter what we do We can't convince you that what we're speaking is true No matter what mountains arise That stand in front of our eyes We will plow on and earn our well deserved rights Every day is spent achieving the dream And we are getting closer, no matter how it may seem So let's follow Martin Luther King And finally live the dream we see

We Shall Overcome - Pete Seeger We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome, some day.

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome, some day.

We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand, We'll walk hand in hand, some day.

Oh, deep in my heart,

We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, We shall live in peace, some day.

Oh, deep in my heart,

We shall all be free, We shall all be free, We shall all be free, some day.

Oh, deep in my heart,

We are not afraid, We are not afraid, We are not afraid, TODAY

Oh, deep in my heart,

We shall overcome, We shall overcome, We shall overcome, some day.

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome, some day.
