Martin Luther King

The greatest man in history is Martin Luther King A man who opened up our eyes, when he said, "I have a dream." It's hard to imagine now, in time, a segregated nation Not everyone had equal rights, unless they were caucasian Seperate restaraunts to sit and dine, and seperate water fountains We saw the world's greatest leader, with the power to move mountains He spoke with courage and with pride, as he stood afront the crowd All eyes gazed upon this man as he sang out mighty and proud He wasn't afraid of consequence, he never feared that he may fail The steps he took for all mankind is written in History's trail If he had given up, life would be different for you and me What if the world was black and white, how would it really be Martin Luther King preached of fairness and equality So that one day every race would come together, be set free No matter blood or relation, everyone be brothers And we'd all walk hand in hand, no matter what our color Martin Luther's dream came true, he united every race And he is the foundation of our congregated base
