R. Kelly - I Had A Dream lyrics

If you wanna lead, be a leader If you wanna dream, be a dreamer Climb to the top of that mountain and scream it But remember when you get to the top Everything you say is gonna matter Everything you do is gonna add up It's what you asked for, so Don't get mad when it's not what you thought Careful now, girl, with them Jezebel ways Crown on your head, but you're queen of cliches Little one playin' with the big boys now Hope you're ready when it comes back around I had a dream that we were born A generation to behold Writing fires with our words Instead of useless smoke that blurs The lines are writing oh Expression that they're told An army with a sword That lingers when we're gone I had a dream If you wanna preach be a preacher If you wanna teach be a teacher Remember that the footprints you're leaving, will Tell us all who you really are It's too bad you can't see what you're worth Spreadin' your legs 'stead of usin' your words Character is shown by the things that we do The one thing you're never gonna hide is the truth 'Cause anyone can tell when you're sellin' out And anyone can fly when they're fallin' down I had a dream that we were born A generation to behold Writing fires with our words Instead of useless smoke that blurs The lines are writing oh Expression that they're told An army with a sword That lingers when we're gone I had a dream I had a dream I had a dream that we were born (I had a dream that we were born) A generation to behold (to behold) Writing fires with our words (writing fires with our words) Instead of useless smoke that blurs The lines are writing oh Expression that they're told (they're told) An army with a sword That lingers when we're gone (when we're gone) I had a dream (I had a dream) I had a dream I had a dream
