I DREAM A WORLD












I dream a world where man


No other man will scorn,


Where love will bless the earth


And peace its paths adorn.


I dream a world where all


Will know sweet freedom's way,


Where greed no longer saps the soul


Nor avarice blights our day.


A world I dream where black or white,


Whatever race you be,


Will share the bounties of the earth


And every man is free,


Where wretchedness will hang its head


And joy, like a pearl,


Attends the need of all mankind -


Of such I dream, my world!
