FlashBack: Group 1 Crew In the Lyrics – A Lot in Common, I Have a Dream & Revolve Update
This month we celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and two songs that remind me of his vision of diversity, unity and dreams are from Group 1 Crew: “A Lot in Common” & “I Have a Dream” from their first self-titled album. Listen to the songs below and check out the lyrics to be inspired:
Group 1 Crew: “A Lot in Common”
In the Lyrics: “A Lot in Common”
Sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down
Sometimes the world goes round and round
And we don’t stop to think that / We got a lot in common
Sometimes we have it sometimes we don’t / What matters most is not the physical
Just look inside your soul cause / We got a lot in common…Click here for the full lyrics
A 2007 Live Performance of Group 1 Crew’s “I Have a Dream”
In the Lyrics: “I Have a Dream”
But I could never see my dreams they were always too far
Dreams of being free dreams of being able to sing
I dreamt a man loved me cause I wasn’t scared to be me
I saw a life where every woman had respect for herself
And every little girl would run and ask her mommy for help
I’m not afraid to write a song that exposes my pain
I lived my life backwards so when it poured it rained
But I got through the weather now I’m changing the game
And dreaming remains the source of everything we proclaim…

A few months ago Group 1 Crew released their album OuttaSpace Love (click here to order) featuring some of my favorite songs like “Beautiful” and “Walking on the Stars.” You can catch Blanca, Manwell and Pablo performing songs from the album on The Revolve Tour: Dream On a fun, faith-filled weekend event for teen girls coming to a city near you. Below are some pictures from the event in Garland, TX, that I got to attend:
