Clother Her In Purple (Tribute To Corretta Scott King)
Clothe her in purple
For she must be dressed
Sprinkle her with gold
Indeed she is blessed
Adorn her with strength
And comfort her with love
Prepare her with wisdom
Always shine light from above
Let her sing from the heart
For nations will hear her cries
Tears for equality, justice, and peace
Escape her eyes
Faithful and loyal
She deserves her crown
While he unchained the dream
She helped hope take its place to remain unbound
Her work never ends as she manages her home
‘She must be praised’ her children confessed
Clothe her in purple
She must be dressed
