I Dream a World | André J. Thomas

"I Dream a World" performed by The Tallahassee Community Chorus and Florida State University Choirs on January 26th, 2013 in the Ruby Diamond Concert Hall.

Arranged and conducted by Dr. André Thomas.
Words by Langston Hughes.

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
I dream a world where all
Will know sweet freedom's way,
Where greed no longer saps the soul
Nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white,
Whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
And every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
And joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
Of such I dream, my world!
