Here Is To You Dr King
Extra extra read all about it black man ,black man liberal and free
Now that’s something we couldn’t say back in the early 1960s
If you know like me we must give credit where due, so thanks to you Dr king
We owe you for all you went through just to let freedom ring
If you were alive today you wouldn’t believe what you have achieve for all of us
Because fifty years ago we all know we couldn’t even get a seat on the bus
Yes we must thank you Martin for all that you started for all the little folks
For if it were not for you and what you went through we wouldn’t even have a fair vote
Now racism still exists it’s in the mist and it carries an awful scent
But thanks to you we have a choice and have raised our voice and elected a black president
It has taken so long for us to be this strong and live beside others as equals
So as long as we survive we’ll keep your dream alive for it mean so much to our people
