We Have a Dream……
(An interweaving of MLK’s “I Have a Dream” and the voices of PUC Youth)
We have a dream, that one day we’ll be –
United as one –
In PEACE and EQUALITY….
No longer will we live on a lonely island of poverty….
Where we endure hurt, pain and endless misery….
Searing in the flames of withering injustice; one hundred years later we still are not there….
NOW is the time to make real the promise of democracy….
NOW is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice…
NOW is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand’s of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood….
NOW is the time to make justice a reality for all of God’s children….
We, not only as Blacks but as Americans shall be granted the right of, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness….”
And if
In
Fight for what you believe in
This is your time…
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal and will one day stand as one….
We are standing here today because we got something to say…now is the time to rise from the dark – put some light in this room; find ways to be smart…come together as one; open up your heart…..
Let freedom ring from every part of the world….
We all seek our own “Emancipation Proclamation,” but it comes with a price, a price that’s gone unpaid – leaving
Insufficient funds….yeah, that’s what they label us – streets that have guns, drugs, thugs and poor people on the bus….
A check from our employer – the epitome of freedom…it would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment, the urgency of the time, the urgency of the movement and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. This is the proof that Martin Luther King had a dream.
This is what we the youth of P-U-C believe…..
