I Had A Dream
by Daniel CottoMy brothers and sisters
A long time ago
Yeah
A very long time ago
When I was lost
Lonely
And broke
I had a dream
That
Daniel
Would rise from the ashes
I had a dream
That those ghetto ashes
Would be burnt up
Crack pipe ashes
I had a dream
That my life
Would turn
To diamonds
I had a dream
That I would
Shine like glitter
I had that dream
That only young boys
Have
Fast cars
Fast money
Fast times
Fast women
Not girls
Would dance
For a dream
I had a dream
That I would shine
Turn my life
Around
Play on a baseball
Mound
I had a dream
That success
For me would
Come on a highway
Going from here to yonder
I had a dream
That Coxsackie
Attica
Comstock
Auburn
Walls would burn
So I could walk
Upon their burning
Ashes
A free man
