From their 2019 Greenleaf Music album, The Hope I Hold. Music by Ryan Keberle, lyrics by Langston Hughes from his poem, "Let America be America Again". Featuring Ryan Keberle on trombone, voice, and Wurlitzer, Camila Meza on voice and guitar, Scott Robinson on tenor sax, Jorge Roeder on electric bass, Eric Doob on drums. Video by Steve Brickman. Despite the Dream (lyrics by Langston Hughes) I’m the one who dreamed, a dream so strong, so brave, so true it sings. For I’m, I’m the one who came to build a homeland of the free. (The free, the free, who said the free? Not me.) All the dreams we’ve dreamed, and all the songs we’ve sung, and hopes we’ve held. The hordes who have nothing except a dream that’s almost dead today. O, let America be America again. The land that never has been yet, the land where everyman is free, Must bring back our mighty dream again.
