Show Them The Way |
Please God, show 'em the way |
Please God, on this day |
Spirits all given the strength |
Peace can come if you really want it |
I had a fragile dream |
In a grey house in the Hamptons |
I’d been there before |
Singing songs and doing benefits |
Was in a room alone |
Putting on my makeup |
Like so many things that come to me |
The dress came across the Persian carpet |
As I fell into the dress |
A thought came to me |
Into my heart |
I have a dream |
And a door opened |
I turned to face the music |
I was ready for the Kennedy’s |
I don’t know if it was 1960 or 1963 |
Everything was timeless, even me |
I wasn’t old, I wasn’t young |
I was just part of their dream |
A shadow walked with me down the hall |
It was Martin Luther King |
All in shadow, all before me |
Overwhelmed by destiny |
Someone said, «Sing us a song |
There’s a piano» and handed me a drink |
The room was full of hope |
A song would set them free |
And I said |
Please God, show 'em the way |
Please God, on this day |
Spirits all given the strength |
Peace can come if you really want it |
I sat at the piano |
Stared out of the shadows |
I sang the words, «I have a dream» |
He wasn’t my old friend John |
I didn’t know him then |
But he smiled at me |
And I sang these words |
«Whatever it takes |
Whatever it takes to be free» |
No, I didn’t know these men |
But they knew me |
It was all symbolic |
Nothing was as it seemed |
They all left us in a single shot |
But they didn’t take the dream |
They were there in that house |
Discussing the future |
And drinking champagne |
I was just a piano player |
The voice, part of their dream |
I was thirty-five and maybe I was fifteen |
It was just another night in the presence of Martin Luther King |
I was just a dreamer |
I was ready for the Kennedy’s |
And I said |
Please God, show 'em the way |
Please God, on this day |
Light the fire, start it over |
Tell the world about the dream |
Start it up and make it real |
Please God |
Show him the way |
Please God |
Show her the way |
Please God |
Show them the way |
Please God |
Back in the room where it all began |
My heart began to heal |
I believe it |
I remember the beauty of the Hamptons |
Shadows playing in the sun |
A voice said |
«The dream is not over, no |
The dream has just begun» |
I spun around to see another shadow |
Slipping through the door |
And my eyes opened wide |
«What is this all for?» |
And the shadow said |
«Don't forget it |
Don’t forget what we were fighting for |
Don’t forget it» |
And I said |
Please God, show 'em the way |
(It's just another night) |
Please God, on this day |
(Martin Luther King) |
Spirits all given the strength |
(Sing us a song) |
Peace can come if you fight for it |
(Don't forget it) |
Think we’re just in time to say |
(Ooh, and said, oh said) |
Please God, show 'em the way |
(All in shadow) |
Please God, on this day |
(All before me) |
Spirits all given the strength |
Peace can come if you fight for it |
Think we’re just in time to say this |
Set them free |
Room was full of hope |
Please God, show 'em the way |
(I believe it) |
Please God, on this day |
(Don't forget it) |
Spirits all given the strength |
(Don't forget what |
We were fighting for) |
Think we’re just in time to say |
Peace can come |
If you fight for it |
Peace can come |
If you try harder |
Peace can come |
Ooh, if you really want it |
The dream |
Don’t forget it |
Please God |
Show them the way |
