When you're young or old you have a dream

No dream is to big or too small

Dreams start as a mustard seed and grows to be a beautiful flower

Just look at Martin Luther King, Jr.

When he was just a kid he had a dream that his brother and sister would rise and be proud of themselves and their color

All that mattered that you are not crying on the ground over the hand of a white man like your ancestors before you

Cause that wasn't his dream

Or even for my Latino/a we have Roberto Clemente

If you don’t know who that is… he is a Hispanic baseball player who changed the perspective of the work

You wanna know why

It’s because he’s father was sugar farmer

But he didn’t want to be enslaved like his father

So he wanted to change his future and he did he became the first latino player to hit 3,000 career hits

We had even present/people who wanted to make a change

Abraham Lincoln… He freed the slaves

Harriet Tubman… She single handle the underground railroad

John F. Kennedy… wanted equal rights for all races

Barack Obama… The first black president

All these people had a dream it was once as a mustard seed and it grows

It can grow as beautiful as a rose

Your dream is as small as a mustard seed now but when it grows it will be as beautiful as a rose
