Analysis of I Have A Dream
I HAVE A DREAM
I see people starving, they have nothing to eat
They are so very weak, can't stand on their feet
Yet we waste food daily, we don't value our meals
I have a dream to feed them, and this is my appeal.
I see people on the streets, no roof above their head,
Sleeping on dirty pavements, they don't have a bed
We live in comfort, yet we ask for more
I have a dream, to open up the doors.
I see people lonely, no happiness on their face
They roam around aimlessly, keep staring into space
We have friends and family, for them, we have no time
I have a dream, to make them feel they're prime.
I have a dream, I have many dreams, I want them to come true
I want everyone to be happy, no one should ever feel blue
Let's be selfless and reach out, let's laugh and jump and scream
And let us all work together, to fulfill all our dreams.
