[Verse 1]
There once was a man
With a dream in his heart
With a dream just the same as you
There once was a man
With a gleam in his eye
But a gleam in your eye given time will die
If the dream that you dreamt
Is a dream that you can’t pursue
[Verse 2]
People like us don’t join the clubs
Jump the queues
Get served in pubs
People like us must learn where we fit in
People are decent, true enough
Decent ‘til you call their bluff
For people can’t see beyond one mortal sin
The color of your skin
[Verse 3]
Basic freedoms, basic rights
Yes, it’s true, we have these prizes in our sights
In this England, in these times
Many acts which once were common now are crimes
And strong or weak
All men are equal
Clearly, oh, well
Nearly
