I once had a dream
and that dream was freedom
but dreams don't ever come true
I've been there and I've seen them
You know nothing is fair
and I mean nothing at all
tell me who will step forward
the very moment I fall

Through the darkness you shine
like a diamond in my memory
through the darkness of time
to real peace for you and me

Look hard to find a person
for the road it will never end
only the love of my nation
will make sure my heart mends
the pain is so much harder now
and my blood it runs like rain
free me from this darkness
so I can fight again

Now the warrior he is standing
with his brave face turned to the sun
below him the masses gather
now for him the battle is now
let the coward hang his head in shame
and let the loyal take the sword
for freedom now and forever
lets not forget his words

I once had a drem.....

I will never forget you
to you I owe it all
so come and take my hand now
and make sure I don't fall
