Dreams Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.
I, Too, Sing America I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes, But I laugh,
And eat well, And grow strong.
Tomorrow, I'll be at the table
When company comes. Nobody'll dare
Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen,"
Then. Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed-- I, too, am America.
