Wheels of a Dream

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

(Go down South)

And see your people

(See my folks)

Won't they take to him

(They'll take to him)

Like cats to cream?

(Ah-ah ah)

Then we'll travel on from there

(California, or who knows where)

And we will ride

On the wheels of a dream

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 than 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

(With you)

Beyond that road

Beyond this lifetime

That car 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
