Dr King
Have you ever started at the bottom
And was wondering how you will make it to the top
You couldnt see it
Your vision blurred
Seems like all your obstacles occurred
What did you do
You faced them
Dr King had a dream
He said chase them
So you stop sitting
And there was no quitting
A whole lot of go getting
No longer in silence
Let your voice be heard
You can fly
Be the courageous bird
Dont give up
You can do it
Just put your mind to it
He chose love
Somehow lots still choose hate
How can you relate
We should build each other up
If its to much
Lessen the cup
Know what you are worth
Sometimes it takes alot
To turn the other cheek
Dont get it twisted dosent make you weak
It makes you courageous
No matter the stages
"The ultimate measure of a man
Is not always where he stands"
Dr King knew the plan
He spoke his truth
He did it for all of us
Tried to protect the elderly and the youth
He didnt choose violence or silence
He chose to stamp it and had the world behind it
He left his mark and his legacy
He left room for unity , equality ,he left room for apologies
He left room for you to right your wrongs
He left room for us to overcome
And to become one
One nation, one sound
Tilt your head put on your crown
Left visions
Made decisions
Exercised our rights
He didnt want to dim our lights
We are smart, we do our part
You see he never saw color
He saw the characteristics
We can Change the world
Come on let's fix it
Never give up on your dreams
Turn them into a reality
Thank you Dr King
