In this number from the musical, Ragtime, Sarah and Coalhouse go on a picnic and celebrate the future that their infant son might live to see.
[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
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]
Oh
[COALHOUSE]
Then we'll travel on from there
[SARAH]
California or who knows where!
[SARAH & COLEHOUSE]
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 than promises
Sarah, it must be true
A country that lets a man like me
Own a car, raise a child, build a life with you...
With you...
[SARAH]
With you...
[SARAH & COLEHOUSE]
Beyond that road
Beyond this lifetime
That car full of hope
Will always gleam!
With the promise of happiness
And the freedom he'll live to know
He'll travel 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
