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
