Athens Boys Choir - If You Can Dream It lyrics
<some clip> We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union And to have men like Columbus, dasota, lewis and clark, kit Carson, Daniel boone, davy crockett, eli whitney, sambo, Thomas Edison, henry ford, orville and Wilbur wright, my grandpa, and paul reviere… <Katz> Does life stop when the work stops, Or does work stop when this heart stops? Writers block more threatening to this poet than clogged arteries. But centuries of movements, evolutions and improvements dissolving into me osmosisly See, I soak in the evolution, got that 6th sense and intuition, That kind you get when you’re born with ovaries and fallopians Forever connecting me to my family’s matriarchy To which I am the only survivor… well, sort of. <some comedy clip> But I always go immediately to the principal’s office. And, so, when I got to the principal’s office at this particular high school, as I walked up, I looked in through his great, big glass door, and I saw the principal standing in his office, and he had a boy sitting down in font of him, and he was shaking his finger in the boys face, and he was saying “I’ll teach you to kiss girls in the halls of this school,” and he said, “I’ve already learned.” <Katz> See I, Never underestimate the power of a woman. A sacred feminine – not man-hating, just trying to get Even, just trying to get Some control over those controllers because We just can’t c-o-n-t-roll with it anymore. Angela davis to suffrage. Gloria steinam to francis perkins, Sharlie hunter to rosa parks, Alice walker and bell hooks And all those womyn you may have heard of called witches and bitches, Whores and sinners because, Like dan brown said, history is always written by the winners. So, what will the future textbooks say That the revolution was built this way A twine into thick rope; a braid made by feminists and Trans-activists. Visionaries and radical faeries. Antiracists and hackers. Grown men and distractors. Whistle blowers. Door openers. My grandma, my mom, and me. Circumstance? Naw. Come lay with me. Come walk beside me in camaraderie Because, like MLK, I got a dream in me, and You got a dream in you. I know you do. <some other clip> Now, if you can dream it, you can have it If you can see it, you can get it If you can reach for it, you can touch it See, you just got to believe to get it And know I’m wit it. Know what I’m saying? |
