I dreamed I rode a rocket ship
To the land of could it be
Where people lived in harmony
With respect for all they see

Where color didn’t mean a thing
And no one lived in fear
Where leaders worked together
And statements were sincere

Where my homeland had no claim to shame
And death didn’t come wearing blue
Where people lived with dignity
Oh, if only dreams came true
