我今天怀有一个梦。
我梦想有一天,深谷弥合,高山夷平,歧路化坦途,曲径成通衢,上帝的光华再现,普天下生灵共谒。这是我们的希望。这是我将带回南方去的信念。有了这个信念,我们就能从绝望之山开采出希望之石。有了这个信念,我们就能把这个国家的嘈杂刺耳的争吵声,变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。有了这个信念,我们就能一同工作,一同祈祷,一同斗争,一同入狱,一同维护自由,因为我们知道,我们终有一天会获得自由。
到了这一天,上帝的所有孩子都能以新的含义高唱这首歌:
我的祖国,可爱的自由之邦,我为您歌唱。这是我祖先终老的地方,这是早期移民自豪的地方,让自由之声,响彻每一座山岗。如果美国要成为伟大的国家,这一点必须实现。因此,让自由之声响彻新罕布什尔州的巍峨高峰。
让自由之声响彻纽约州的崇山峻岭。
让自由之声响彻宾夕法尼亚州的阿勒格尼高峰。
让自由之声响彻科罗拉多州冰雪皑皑的洛基山。
让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰。
不,不仅如此;让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山。
让自由之声响彻田纳西州的望山。
让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰,一个个土丘。
让自由之声响彻每一个山岗。
