Intro
Everything starts with a…
(Dream)
It all starts with a…
(Dream)

Verse – One
Startin’ out I was a kid with a dream,
To do something special with this rap and sing,
Maybe take Jesus music to a place that it hasn't seen,
Spread the good news to the mainstream,

Let freedom ring, for the King,
That was the dream, but this is the thing,
Uh, the world was just wasn't ready, no,
For a dope brother spittin' Gospel flow,

Yeah, all I know is if I had my plans,
I wouldn't be here and now I understand,
That a dream is bigger when it’s in God’s hands,
Because the illest is the truth,

But raising this roof has been a long time comin',
A couple times did I think about runnin',
Away, But I knew one day the gain would be worth the pain,
And this is what I told myself, I...

Pre-Chorus
I told myself, kid don’t give up,
You gotta make this dream come true,
I told myself, kid never give up,
You gotta make this dream come true,

Then God said, son don’t give up,
Cause I got big plans for you,
Yeah, God told me, son never give up,
Cause I got big plans for you,

Chorus
And it all started in a, it all started in a,
It all started in a kid, with a...dream,

It all started in a, it all started in a,
It all started in a kid, with a...dream,

It all started with a, it all started with a,
It all started with a, kid and a...dream.

It all started in a, it all started in a,
It all started in a kid, with a...dream,

Everything starts with a dream,
It all starts with a dream,
Why do we hate on each other’s dreams,
Be the change that you wanna see,

Verse – Two
I’m all grown up now and it’s strange to me,
The way we hate on each other cause we just don't see,
That a kid with a dream is a beautiful thing,
And we are all children, in God's eyes,

Coming up jealousy was a big surprise,
Prayed for the strength to ignore the lies,
Smiled at a hater kept my eyes on the prize,
That's the will of my father,

Today I'm a man on a mission, using this pen,
Gave it all to the Lord, now I'm a fisher of men,
Uh, yeah he stopped me from fallin,
Then my God told me this is my callin',

He said, my son you gotta tell the world,
Cause my love for the people needs to be heard,
And when you feel like giving up I ‘ma give you the courage,
And this is what I told myself, I...

Pre-Chorus
I told myself, kid don’t give up,
You gotta make this dream come true,
I told myself, kid never give up,
You gotta make this dream come true,

Then God said, son don’t give up,
Cause I got big plans for you,
Yeah, God told me, son never give up,
Cause I got big plans for you,

Chorus
And it all started in a, it all started in a,
It all started in a kid, with a...dream,

It all started in a, it all started in a,
It all started in a kid, with a...dream,

It all started with a, it all started with a,
It all started with a, kid and a...dream.

It all started in a, it all started in a,
It all started in a kid, with a...dream,

Everything starts with a dream,
It all starts with a dream,
Why do we hate on each other’s dreams,
Be the change that you wanna see,

Outro
Tell yourself, kid never give up,
You gotta make this dream come true,
Tell yourself, kid never give up,
You gotta make this dream come true,

God will tell you, my child never give up,
Cause I got big plans for you,
Yeah God will tell you, my child never give up,
Cause I got big plans for you.
