Video #339: Martin Luther King Day:  “I Have a Dream”

Posted on by Yatkara

On January 14, 2026, the Sri Chinmoy Centre in New York to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and birthday. They performed the inspiring “I Have a Dream’ Song, featuring words from Dr. King’s historic 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech set to a beautiful melody by Sri Chinmoy, with a fresh piano arrangement. This musical tribute reminds us of hope, unity, and non-violence in divided times.

Historical Roots of the Song

The “I Have a Dream” song first premiered in 1977 at a special United Nations program honoring Dr. King. Mrs. Coretta Scott King attended as the guest of honor and keynote speaker. She heard the song performed in her presence, blending Dr. King’s powerful words with Sri Chinmoy’s uplifting melody.

Dr. King, a global beacon of peace, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his non-violent efforts toward equality and justice. His message transcends borders and eras.

The Performance at Aspiration-Ground

At Aspiration-Ground, a peaceful outdoor space in Jamaica Hills, New York, Sri Chinmoy’s students sang with devotion. The lyrics include:

I have a dream.
Today, with this faith we will be able
to work together, to pray together, to struggle together,
to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together,
knowing that we will be free one day.

[Words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.]

Sheet music is available here: “I Have a Dream”.

The new piano arrangement added emotional depth, making the performance even more moving. This tradition continues yearly, keeping Dr. King’s vision alive through music and meditation.

Timeless Relevance Today

In our world of divisions, Dr. King’s dream of unity, hope, and promise feels more urgent than ever. Sri Chinmoy, a dedicated advocate for world peace, created this song to inspire oneness and positive change. His students perform it to invoke harmony and inner strength.

The aspiration is for this song to spread widely—to churches, schools, and communities. It can help future generations remember and live Dr. King’s ideals of non-violence and human unity.
