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 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 dear And the times are starting to roll Anyone can get where they want to If they got some fire in his soul We'll see justice there And plenty of men who will stand up and give us our due Beyond that road Beyond this lifetime That car full of hope Will always gleam With 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
