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
