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
