LEGEND'S WAY

Understand, Reflect and Respond Stand up on principles Respond on action Movement Turn injustice to equal justice Dr. King fought hard and travelled far Journey’s beyond His dream to look upon We must believe we can Our hearts must transcend Turn the pave of Racism into togetherness as one Remember Dr. Kings struggles Never tire We must gain access Prosecution unseen Dr. King’s voice shouted anguished The movement that was determined His vision of Civil Rights Dr. King is our inspiration Our former President Obama words, “Yes we can and shall” We must maintain our fight in always exercising our rights The powers that be want all races to go back into time of then The world needs to understand, we went forward, and can’t go back Dr. King wasn’t about separation, but bringing all races together in harmony The light seems to keep dimming, and we can’t let it diminish Once in darkness, always in darkness Washington seems to have closed its eyes We the American people must realize Stand up for the cause We still have work to do that Dr. King couldn’t finish He sits high and is looking down What happened to the people I fought for We must rule Racism out It wasn’t easy for Dr. King and it won’t be easy again It’s a purpose and demand We are all one on America’s land Like I said earlier, Dr. King’s message for us is UNDERSTAND, REFLECT and RESPOND Don’t let Dr. King’s dream die out We are his dream, and we must fulfill Continue to prevail without fail Follow Dr. King’s trail It is more important than ever before We can’t go backwards Together, we need to overcome and shall be determined Dr. King saw the dream We must embrace his efforts We need to see a better tomorrow Reflect back, but only for the moment We shall overcome, one day Through God’s help, we will fulfill.
