我有一個夢。

一個理當不再的舊夢。
一個會夢醒成真的夢。
一個在審判日不必為之心悸的夢。
一個雖然惡夢潛回但美善至終得勝的眾夢之夢。
一個連作夢者都要感恩戴德的夢。

我夢見，謙卑取代了狂傲，不屑讓位給尊重。
我夢見，尖刻言辭如鹽調和。
我夢見，溫柔不被惡棍收買為奴婢。
我夢見，笑言幽默跟無賴一絲不染。
我夢見，柔和不再是軟弱的代名詞。
我夢見，基督是我們目不轉睛的完滿楷模。

我有一個夢。

附稍微修改後的原文如下：

I have a dream.

A dream that shall not any longer be a recurrent dream.
A dream that shall become a true reality, when we wake up from it.
A dream that shall not haunt us on the Day of Judgement.
A dream that, despite all its bad undercurrent, shall bring out the best and brightest of all dreams.
A dream that the dreamers shall all be forever grateful for it.

I dream that humility and deference replaces arrogance and disrespect.
I dream that sharp-tongued words are moderated and seasoned with salt.
I dream that gentleness is not sold into slavery by villains.
I dream that laughter commits no adultery with wanton comics.
I dream that meekness is not mistaken as weakness.
I dream that Christ is our constant gaze and model of perfection.

I have a dream.
