Once upon this planet earth Lived a man humble down Preaching Love and freedom For his fellow man
He was dreaming our day Peace would come to us to stay And he‘d spread his message All across the land
Turn the other cheek He’d plead Love thy neighbor Was his creed Pain, humiliation, death He did not dread
With his bible at his side From his foes he did not hide It’s hard to think That this great man is dead Oh Yeah!
For the murders never cease Are they men or are they beast What do they ever hope? Ever hope to gain
Will my country For us, stand up tall Is it too late for us all? And did Martin Luther King Just die In Vain
Cause he’d seen the mountain top And he knew he could not stop Always living With the threat of death ahead
Folks you'd better Stop and think Cause we’re headed for the brink What will happen now? That he is dead
He was for equality For all people you and me
With love and good will Hate was not his way He was not a violent man Tell me folks if you can Just Why Why was he shot down? The other day
You would say He had seen The mountain top And he knew he could not stop Always living with the Threat of death ahead Folks you'd better stop and think And Feel Again Cause we're headed for the brink
What’s going to happen? Now that the King of love Is dead!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
