We Have A Dream was a special single released as the official song of the Scotland national football team for their 1982 World Cup Campaign.

It was re-released in 2008 featuring a host of celebrities. This includes Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Jensen, Dougray Scott, Billy Boyd, Chris Hoy, Ally McCoist, Fred MacAulay, Karen Dunbar and Elaine C. Smith, along with Gregory's Girl actor John Gordon Sinclair, who sang the original.[1]
Scotland's crucial World Cup qualifier against Norway also saw the Hampden Park crowd play their part as more than 50,000 Scotland supporters were recorded roaring along to the track at half-time, helped by a karaoke-style prompt on the big screen. The single, and subsequent live performance on BBC Scotland's live Children in Need show also included the vocals of The Gospel Truth Choir
The single was produced by original writer BA Robertson to raise money for BBC Children In Need.
(Spoken) I awoke in the night with a fever and the sky was the darkest blue and a still voice was calling to me
"your country is needing you" Aye just like that
And away in the distance i can just make out this ball, coming in from the left,and i'm starting to run,
To run like hell and the voices are getting louder and louder and louder, crying, "Hey big yin, gaun yersel'"
(Sung)
I have a dream (we have a dream)
If dreams come true (If dreams come true)
Then bonny Scotland (then bonny Scotland)
I will play for you. (we'll play for you)
Now i hope and i pray (we hope and pray)
That if, if I do (that if we do)
Then bonny Scotland we'll play for you
(spoken)
Now the next thing I know, someones gaun and tripped me and i've fallen just inside the box (that's a penalty)
Now ref he looks to his linesman and he's pointing right at the spot! (that's brilliant)
Now John Robertson, who normally takes them, is handing the ball to me (you don't say)
And then i hear ma old lady screamin' blue murder, shes saying, "thats no the ball yer kickin' ya eejit, its me!"
(sung)
I have a dream (we have a dream)
If dreams come true (If dreams come true)
Then bonny Scotland (then bonny Scotland)
I will play for you. (we'll play for you)
Now i hope and i pray (we hope and pray)
That if, if I do (that if we do)
Then bonny Scotland we'll play for you
We have a dream,
If dreams come true
Then bonny Scotland
We'll play for you
We hope and pray (we hope and pray)
That if we do (that if we do)
Then bonny Scotland we'll play for you.
