Em
If you wanna lead, be a leader
G
If you wanna dream, be a dreamer
D
Climb to the top of that mountain Scream it
C
But remember when you get to the top
Em
Everything you say is gonna matter
G
Everything you Do is gonna add up
D
It’s what you asked for so
C
Don’t get mad when it’s not what you thought
Em
Careful now girl with the Jezebel waist
G
Fall on your head, but you’re queen of cliches
D
Little one playing with the big boys
C
Hope you’re ready when it comes back around
Chorus:
G D
I had a dream and we were born
Am C
a generation to behold
G D
Lighting fires with our words
Am C
Instead of useless stuff that blurs
Em
The lines of right and wrong
D
Expression that lives on
Am
An army with a song
C
That makes us where we Go
Em G D C
I had a dream
Verse II:
Em
If you wanna preach, be a preacher
G
If you wanna teach, be a teacher
D
Remember that the footprints you’re leaving
C
will tell us all who you really are
Em
It’s too late, you can’t see what you’re worth
G
Spreading your legs instead of using your words
D
Character is shown by the things that we Do
C
The one thing you’re never gonna hide is the truth
Em G
’cause anyone can tell when it’s solid now
D C
And anyone can fly with me falling now
Chorus:
G D
I had a dream and we were born
Am C
a generation to behold
G D
Lighting fires with our words
Am C
Instead of useless stuff that blurs
Em
The lines of right and wrong
D
Expression that lives on
Am
An army with a song
C
That makes us where we Go
Em G D C
I had a dream
Em G D C
I had a dream
G D
I had a dream and we were born
Am C
a generation to behold
G D
Lighting fires with our words
Am C
Instead of useless stuff that blurs
Em
The lines of right and wrong
D
Expression that lives on
Am
An army with a song
C
That makes us where we Go
Em G D C
I had a dream
