Verse / [G-Em-C-D-G-Em-C-D-D7]

I dream of a world of love and peace

Where every child can play and soundly sleep

I dream of life where all can give

Where no one is hungry, deprived and killed

 

Refrain / [G-Em-C-D-G-Em-C-D-D7]

I dream a dream! I have a dream!

A better world! A better place!

I dream a dream! I have a dream!

To make our lonely world, a lively place!

 

CHORUS / [G-Em-C-D-G-Em-C-D-G-C-D]

And so I say, “Yes, I do! Yes, I do!”

I’ll do it for You!

“Yes, I do! Yes, I do!”

I can’t do it without You!

So let us do, we will do!

 

In this time when it’s hard to be

When happiness depends on “haves” and “me”

A divided world because of fear

Wounded hearts that seek a love that heals

 

I dream a dream! I have a dream!

A happy world! A happy place!

I dream a dream! I have a dream!

This tormented world could be a lovely place!

 

Bridge / [C-G-C-G-C-G-C-D7-G-E]

Bring a million hands together

Let us begin this revolution

Let us build a generation

of love and justice in the world
