[00:06.656]Of course this whole program is dedicated to the memory of Dr.Martin Luther King, you know that, really.
[00:15.683]
[00:18.697]Once upon this planet earth
[00:22.715]Lived a man of humble birth
[00:28.988]Preaching love and freedom for his fellow man
[00:39.708]He was dreaming of a day
[00:45.479]Peace would come to earth to stay
[00:51.504]And he spread this message all across the land
[01:01.037]
[01:03.548]Turn the other cheek he’d plead
[01:08.563]Love their neighbor was his creed
[01:15.341]Pain humiliation death, he did not dread
[01:25.628]With his Bible at his side
[01:33.159]From his foes he did not hide
[01:41.190]It’s hard to think that this great man is dead (Oh yes)
[01:52.178]
[02:00.459]Well, the murders never cease
[02:05.478]Are they men or are they beasts?
[02:12.758]What do their hate ever hope, ever hope to gain?
[02:22.040]Will my country fall, stand or fall?
[02:31.821]Is it too late for us all?
[02:40.352]And did Martin Luther King just die in vain?
[02:53.154]
[02:55.412]Cos he’d seen the mountain top
[03:00.685]And he knew he could not stop
[03:07.955]Always living with the threat of death ahead
[03:18.251]Folks you’d better stop and think
[03:25.778]Cos we’re heading for the brink
[03:32.302]What will happen now that he is dead?
[03:38.821]
[03:43.337]He was for equality
[03:49.608]For all people, you and me
[03:56.135]Full of love and good will, hate was not his way
[04:06.924]He was not a violent man
[04:14.206]Tell me folks if he can？
[04:20.733]Just why, why was he shot down the other day？
[04:30.771]Gonna see he’d seen the mountain top
[04:38.548]And he knew he could not stop
[04:45.075]Always living with the threat of death ahead
[04:56.614]Folks you’d better stop and think and feel again
[05:04.384]Are we heading for the brink？
[05:10.664]What’s gonna happen？
[05:15.681]Now that the king of love is dead!
