Ragtime movie - Wheels of a Dream lyrics

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

I see his face.<br>

I hear his heartbeat.<br>

I look in those eyes.<br>

How wise they seem.<br>

Well, when he is old enough<br>

I will show him America<br>

And he will ride<br>

on the wheels of a dream.<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

We'll go down South <br>

<br>

[SARAH]<br>

Go down South,<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

And see your people <br>

<br>

[SARAH]<br>

See my folks.<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

Won't they take to him<br>

<br>

[SARAH]<br>

They'll take to him<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

Like cats to cream! <br>

<br>

[SARAH]<br>

Mmm...<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

Then we'll travel on from there.<br>

<br>

[SARAH]<br>

California or who knows where!<br>

<br>

[BOTH]<br>

And we will ride<br>

On the wheels of a dream.<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

Yes, the wheels are turning for us, girl.<br>

And the times are starting to roll.<br>

Any man can get where he wants to<br>

If he's got some fire in his soul.<br>

We'll see justice, Sarah,<br>

And plenty of men<br>

Who will stand up <br>

And give us our due.<br>

Oh, Sarah, it's more that promises.<br>

Sarah, it must be true.<br>

A country that let's a man like me<br>

Own a car, raise a child, build a life with you...<br>

<br>

[COALHOUSE]<br>

With you... <br>

<br>

[SARAH]<br>

With you...<br>

<br>

[BOTH]<br>

Beyond that road,<br>

Beyond this lifetime<br>

That care full of hope<br>

Will always gleam!<br>

With the promise of happiness<br>

And the freedom he'll live to know.<br>

He'll travle with head held high,<br>

Just as far as his heart can go<br>

And he will ride-<br>

Our son will ride-<br>

On the wheels of a dream.<br>

<br>
