D Em
I had a fragile dream in a gray house in the Hamptons
C D Em D
I'd been there before, singing songs and doing benefits
C D Em
Was in a room alone putting on my makeup
C D C
Like so many things that come to me, the dress came across the Persian carpet
D Em C
As I fell into the dress, a thought came to me
D Em C
Into my heart, I have a dream
D Em
And a door opened
C D
I turned to face the music
C D Em
I was ready for the Kennedys
C D Em
I don't know if it was 1960 or 1963
C D Em
Everything was timeless, even me
C D Em
I wasn't old, I wasn't young, I was just part of their dream
C D C
A shadow walked with me down the hall, it was Martin Luther King
D Em
All in shadow, all before me, overwhelmed by
C D Em
Destiny, someone said, "Sing us a song
C D Em
There's a piano" and handed me a drink
C D C D C
The room was full of hope, a song would set them free
C D Em
Please God, show 'em the way
C D Em
Please God, on this day
G C D Em
Spirits all given the strength
C D C
Peace can come if you really want it
D Em
I sat at the piano, stared out of the shadows
C D Em
I sang the words, "I have a dream"
C D Em
He wasn't my old friend John, I didn't know him then
C D C
But he smiled at me, and I sang these words
D
Whatever it takes
Em C D
Whatever it takes to be free
Em C D
No, I didn't know these men
Em C D C
But they knew me
C D Em
It was all symbolic, nothing was as it seemed
C D Em Bm C
They all left us in a single shot but they didn't take the dream
D Em
They were there in that house, discussing the future
C D C
And drinking champagne, I was just a piano player
D Em
The voice, part of their dream
C D Em
I was thirty-five and maybe I was fifteen
C D Em C
It was just another night in the presence of Martin Luther King
D C D Em
I was just a dreamer I was ready for the Kennedys
Em
And I said
C D Em
Please God, show 'em the way
C D Em
Please God, on this day
C D
Light the fire, start it over
Em
Tell the world about the dream
C D C
Start it up and make it real

C D Em
Back in the room where it all began
C D Em Bm
My heart began to heal, I believe it
C D Em
I remember the beauty of the Hamptons
C
Shadows playing in the sun
D C
A voice said, "The dream is not over, no
D Em
The dream has just begun"
C D
I spun around to see another shadow
Em
Slipping through the door
C D Em
And my eyes opened wide, "What is this all for?"
C D C
And the shadow said, "Don't forget it, don't forget
D Em
What we were fighting for, don't forget it"
Em
And I said
C D Em
Please God, show 'em the way
C
(It's just another night)
C D Em
Please God, on this day
