Ragtime - Wheels of a Dream Lyrics |
Broadway production 1998 Ragtime the Musical - Wheels of a Dream Lyrics
"Wheels of a Dream" is a song from musical Ragtime performed by Coalhouse and Audra McDonald (Sarah).
[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.
[COALHOUSE] 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...
[COALHOUSE] 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 travle 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.
