Intro

I dedicate this to my mother
To my family
To all the people of color
I dedicate this to America

Verse 1

Lord youve been so good me
Blessed me to see what I didn't think I'd see
In my lifetime, cuz we've been held behind
A glass ceiling, so lonely and chilling
I'm at a loss for words
I can't believe what just occurred
Weve come this far by faith
Now let's push further
Is it true?
Did it really happen?
A black President
The dream that King was having

Prechorus

For once in my life I'm American
I finally feel like Im wanted
In my own country where I grew up in
I finally feel like I'm something
After all of these years that we been struggling
All of this fighting wasnt for nothing (no)
Martin's dream
Became a reality

Chorus

Go ahead little baby you can dream now
I can finally say it and mean it now
Were one step closer to equality
(You can dream what you want to dream)

Go ahead little baby you can dream now
I can finally say it and mean it now
Were one step closer to equality
(You can be what you want to be)


Verse 2

At times I got discouraged
At times I lost the faith
Whenever things seem better
They always remain the same
But now I'm so grateful
And look how far we've come
I'm ever so thankful
But our work is not done (even though)

Prechorus

For once in my life I'm American
I finally feel like Im wanted
In my own country where I grew up in
I finally feel like I'm something
After all these years that we been struggling
All of this fighting wasnt for nothing (no)
Martin's dream
Became a reality

Chorus

Go ahead little baby you can dream now
I can finally say it and mean it now
Were one step closer to equality
(You can dream what you want to dream)

Go ahead little baby you can dream now
I can finally say it and mean it now
Were one step closer to equality
(You can be what you want to be)
