Intro: Em G D C
Verse:
[Em]If you wanna lead, be a leader
If you wanna dre[G]am, be a dreamer
Climb to the top of that mo[D]untain and scream it
But rem[C]ember when you get to the top
[Em]Everything you say is gonna matter
Everything you d[G]o is gonna add up
It's what you [D]asked for
So do[C]n't get mad when it's not what you thought
[Em]Careful now, girl, with them Jezebel ways
Cro[G]wn on your head, but you're queen of cliches
L[D]ittle one playin' with the big boys now
H[C]ope you're ready when it comes back around
Chorus:
[G]I had a dream that we were b[D]orn
[Am] A generation to beh[C]old
[G] Writing fires with our w[D]ords
[Am] Instead of useless smoke that bl[C]urs
The lines of right and wr[Em]ong
Expression that they're t[D]old
An army with a sw[Am]ord
That lingers when we're g[C]one
I had a dr[Em]eam[G][D][C]
Verse:
[Em]If you wanna preach be a preacher
If you wanna te[G]ach be a teacher
Remember that the footprints you're l[D]eaving
Will t[C]ell us all who you really are
[Em]It's too bad you can't see what you're worth
Spr[G]eadin' your legs 'stead of usin' your words
Ch[D]aracter is shown by the things that we do
The o[C]ne thing you're never gonna hide is the truth
[Em] Cause anyone can tell when you're s[G]ellin' out
[D] And anyone can fly when they're fall[C]in' down
Chorus:
[G]I had a dream that we were b[D]orn
[Am] A generation to beh[C]old
[G] Writing fires with our w[D]ords
[Am] Instead of useless smoke that bl[C]urs
The lines of right and wr[Em]ong
Expression that they're t[D]old
An army with a sw[Am]ord
That lingers when we're g[C]one
I had a dr[Em]eam
