Kelly Clarkson — I Had a Dream

[Verse 1] 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 clichés Little one playin' with the big boys now Hope you're ready when it comes back around [Chorus] I had a dream that we were more A generation to behold Lighting fires with our words Instead of useless smoke that blurs The lines of right and wrong Expression that lives on An army with a song That lingers when we're gone I had a dream [Verse 2] 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 sell when they're sellin' out And anyone can fly when they're fallin' down [Chorus] I had a dream that we were more A generation to behold Lighting fires with our words Instead of useless smoke that blurs The lines of right and wrong Expression that lives on An army with a song That lingers when we're gone I had a dream [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I had a dream I had a dream that we were more A generation to behold Lighting fires with our words Instead of useless smoke that blurs The lines of right and wrong Expression that lives on An army with a song That lingers when we're gone I had a dream I had a dream I had a dream I had a dream
