His voice still echoes through the centuries
He made freedom, justice, and peace into a revolution
Words found in a dream a foundation that is inspiring
But others just want to count the pennies of his legacy
A phrase, a photo trapped
Never to enter the annals of history
The DREAM just faded words of a speech
Never to be seen fading into the pages of greed
The substance of this DREAM can be found around us
In the children, in you and even in me
But now made meaningless within a families legal feud
You can put a price on words
You can put a price on a book
But there is no price on inspiring a nation
