Lyrics
I Have a Dream, a song to sing To help me cope, with anything If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale You can take the future, even if you fail
I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I’ll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
I Have a Dream, a fantasy To help me through, reality And my destination, makes it worth the while Pushin’ through the darkness, still another mile
I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I’ll cross the stream, I Have a Dream I’ll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
I Have a Dream, a song to sing To help me cope, with anything If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale You can take the future, even if you fail
I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I’ll cross the stream, I Have a Dream I’ll cross the stream, I Have a Dream
