๐ Lyrics
When it was announced that Martin Luther King had been killed
I think every black person just froze in their tracks
And in their minds they were saying, "Where do we go from here?"
It gave you joy just to hear him quote the sentence "I have a dream"
It did something to your whole body
Just went from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet
And you would say, "This is Martin Luther King, he is speaking
And we have to sit down and listen, and enjoy what he's saying"
And I'd love to see what you'd call a utopia
Everybody gettin' along with peace, joy, happiness, health
I'm sure in 50 years from now I won't be here to see it
But this would be my hope for my grandchildren
And their children, and their children to come
And we just pray that God will continue to bless
Learn to love, love, love each other, regardless of the situation
I think every black person just froze in their tracks
And in their minds they were saying, "Where do we go from here?"
It gave you joy just to hear him quote the sentence "I have a dream"
It did something to your whole body
Just went from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet
And you would say, "This is Martin Luther King, he is speaking
And we have to sit down and listen, and enjoy what he's saying"
And I'd love to see what you'd call a utopia
Everybody gettin' along with peace, joy, happiness, health
I'm sure in 50 years from now I won't be here to see it
But this would be my hope for my grandchildren
And their children, and their children to come
And we just pray that God will continue to bless
Learn to love, love, love each other, regardless of the situation
