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 of 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 needs of all mankind 

Of such, I dream, my world!
