1
I had a dream, Mr. King, if you'll beg my pardon
2
I was trespassing a sacred garden
3
And the blossoms fell and they dropped like candy
4
And the nature cried, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
5
And the nature cried, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
6
When he was, when he was a boy, he was afraid of the dark
7
And his mother would fast and pray at his feet
8
The lamp burned as he slept, slept as he dreamed
9
He was dreaming' of his sisters, dressed in white muslin
10
Dressed in white muslin, dancing in a ring
11
He was afraid of the dark and the lamp burned
12
And his mother fasted and prayed as he slept
13
Dreaming of blossoms, they were burning his throat
14
He had eaten flowers, fell burning
15
Flowers fell burning from the young girls' hair
16
He was whispering into his God's ear
17
Let the children be so, let children be so
18
And the lamplight flickered, flickered
19
And his mother withered like Job
20
And he lay there dreaming and the blossoms fell
21
And Tilak's trumpet proceeded to call
22
And the blossoms fell and they dropped like candy
23
And the people cried, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
24
Gandhi, Gandhi, Gandhi, Gandhi
25
I had a dream Mr. King, well, beg my pardon
26
I was trespassing the sacred garden
27
And the blossoms fell, well, they dropped like candy
28
And nature cried, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
29
Hey, little man, awake from your slumber
30
Get 'em with the numbers
31
Get 'em with the numbers
32
He is frail and shy and the cast of his mind
33
Was mercurial, was mercurial
34
As the sacred verbs scrawled in the dust
35
Scrawled in the dust on the floor, on the floor
36
Long live revolution and the spinning wheel
37
And a handful of salt and a handful of salt
38
And the untouchables felt like candy
39
They called to him, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
40
The children of God with hands full of candy
41
They called to him, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
42
Feel our woes, man of the giving
43
Rejoin the living, rejoin the living
44
Awake from the net where you've been sleeping
45
And they're climbing, climbing, the burning hair
46
And the burning flowers from the young girls
47
Well, they dropped all around, they dropped like candy
48
The people cried, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
49
Awake little man, awake from your slumber
50
And get 'em with the numbers
51
Get 'em with the numbers
52
One, two, three, four hundred thousand million
53
People, people, people, people
54
Awake from your slumber, awake from your slumber
55
Awake from your slumber
56
And get 'em with the numbers
57
Get 'em with the numbers
58
Long live revolution and the spinning wheel
59
Awake, awake is the mighty appeal
60
Oh, people awake, awake from your slumber
61
And get 'em with the numbers
62
Get 'em with the numbers
63
I had a dream Mr. King, if you'll beg my pardon
64
I was trespassing the sacred garden
65
And the blossoms fell, dropped like candy
66
And nature called, "Gandhi, Gandhi"
67
Gandhi, Gandhi
68
Awake from your slumber
69
Awake from your slumber
70
And get 'em with the numbers
71
Get 'em with the numbers
