I can smell it, I can hear it, I can see it, we can feel it, we can taste it all in the air,
I can smell it, I can hear it, I can see it, we can feel it, we can taste it all in the air,
He had a dream, he had a dream, he had a dream, he had a dream,
He had a dream, he had a dream, he had a dream, he had a dream,
Old Major had a dream, he had a dream, he gonna tell us what he seen,
Old Major had a dream, he had a dream, he gonna tell us what he seen,
If we don't keep our clatter down,
Farmer Jones will come around and
We will never hear the news,
The morning light will be here soon,
Dreams are best beneath the moon and
We will never hear the news,
Gather 'round comrades, hear the news,
Hear the news comrades,
There's a road to freedom and
It's glory bound, gather
'Round comrades, gather 'round,
Tell us now Old Major, tell us now!
Tell us now Old Major, tell us now!
Before we stumble, as we work beside the plough,
Tell us now Old Major, tell us now!
I had a dream, (I had a dream),
I had a dream, (I had a dream),
A final dream, (a final dream),
I had a dream, (I had a dream),
I had a dream, (I had a dream),
A final dream, (a final dream),
A final dream, (I had a dream),
Look around, each animal you see will be your own reflection,
Each animal you see bears the mark of generations (look around),
To what purpose, or what good, when your own children (look around)
Are taken away to learn the ways, and means, of production (look around), but
Nothing of the ways, and means, of a good life,
I have a dream: a final dream,
Look around, this land you work upon is fertile and (look around)
Rich enough to support all the animals,
Instead we are left to crawl, with not a shred (look around)
Of dignity: a final dream (a final dream),
Look around, do you see a man strong enough to pull a plough? (No!)
You see a man who produces nothing (look around):
A final dream (a final dream),
Look around, there is only one response, (tell us now) there is only one direction (tell us now),
Tyranny my friends (tell us now), tyranny must end (tell us now Old Major, tell us now),
A final dream, I had a dream, a final dream, I had a dream.
