I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers

I have a dream today

With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day

(Oh)
(Hey)

So, let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring

(Hey)

When we let it ring from every village and every hamlet

(Hey, yeah, hey, oh)

From every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men

(Hey)
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual

(Hey, yeah, hey, oh)

Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, hey, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

(Hey)
(Hey, yeah, hey, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
