Audra McDonald feat. Brian Stokes Mitchell -
Ragtime: The Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)l
Wheels of a Dream
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, 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 than 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
With you
With you
Beyond that road
Beyond this lifetime
That car full of hope
Will always gleam
With the 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
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, 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 than 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
With you
With you
Beyond that road
Beyond this lifetime
That car full of hope
Will always gleam
With the 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
