"I Have a Dream" is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA, recorded for their sixth studio album Voulez-Vous (1979). The song features lead vocals by Anni-Frid Lyngstad. A stark departure from the rest of Voulez-Vous, "I Have a Dream" is a schlager-influenced Europop ballad about hope and resilience. It is notable as one of only two studio recordings by ABBA to feature vocals from outside the group, with the Stockholm International School children's choir being featured in the final verse and chorus. "I Have a Dream" was released on 7 December 1979 as the fifth and final single from Voulez-Vous by Polar Music.
"I Have a Dream" proved a major chart success in Europe, reaching the top three in nearly every country in the region. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number two on the UK singles chart, rewarding the group their 14th consecutive top ten hit there. The single also reached the top spot on the Canadian adult contemporary chart. In contrast, "I Have a Dream" proved a chart failure in Australia. A Spanish version of the single, "Estoy Soñando", was also recorded and released, topping the charts in Argentina and reaching the top ten in Spain.
The single is featured on ABBA Gold (1992), and was also included in both the Mamma Mia! play and the film of the same name. The song would later be covered by Irish boy group Westlife twenty years later, becoming the UK Christmas number one single of 1999.
The french version of the song is titled "Chanter la vie", with french lyrics provided by Claude Lemesle for the Greek singer Nana Mouskouri. The song debuted on the singer's 1983 album Quand on revient and was later released as a single, with the song "Carry Me On" on the B-side.
Croatian singer Tereza Kesovija has recorded the song in croatian, titled "Pronađi put", which debuted on her 1985 album of the same title. The croatian lyrics were provided to Kesovija by lyricist and composer Željko Sabol. Kesovija has since performed the song numerous times, and it has appeared on many of her compilation albums.
