"Wheels Of A Dream" lyrics - AUDRA MCDONALD

Coalhouse
I see his face.
I hear his heartbeat.
I look in those eyes.
How wise they seem.
Well, when he is old enough
I will show him America
And he will ride
On the wheels of a dream.
We'll go down South

Sarah
Go down South

Coalhouse
And see your people

Sarah
See my folks

Coalhouse
Won't they take to him

Sarah
They'll take to him

Coalhouse
Like cats to cream!

Sarah
Mmm...

Coalhouse
Then we'll travel on from there

Sarah
California or who knows where!

Both
And we will ride
On the wheels of a dream.

Coalhouse
Yes, the wheels are turning for us, girl.
And the times are starting to roll.
Any man can get where he wants to
If he's got some fire in his soul.
We'll see justice, Sarah,
And plenty of men
Who will stand up
And give us our due.
Oh, Sarah, it's more that promises.
Sarah, it must be true.
A country that let's a man like me
Own a car, raise a child, build a life with you...
With you...

Sarah
With you...

Both
Beyond that road,
Beyond this lifetime
That care full of hope
Will always gleam!
With the promise of happiness
And the freedom he'll live to know.
He'll travel with head held high,
Just as far as his heart can go
And he will ride-
Our son will ride-
On the wheels of a dream.
