He Had a Dream

He had a dream He stood his ground He spoke his words All nice and loud He changed the world With his strong words He taught us all how to care He took his love and taught to share His anger withheld All hardships and scars Through bombs of hate And words past the stars His heart still beats His blood still flows Through the earth it screams It over flows He is our conscience Our reminder of hate He showed us the way Though some still stayed We have to finish What was started before We’re closely there But something’s blocking the door The hate from past years Is still standing strong We must let go of that Which we know is wrong To learn from our mistakes We need to learn what was taught Everyone no matter what color Needs to treat each other like brothers We’ve all seen the past So lets look to the future You can help Just learn justice from this preacher
