Before you came
People were calling your name you put your country in front of your life
You held your head high

Every day I hear your words as It fills my ears I am grateful
That you made world peace
Standing here with black and white people by my side

Your love and passion has brought us a beautiful nation
Where respect has covered the Earth into a beautiful mansion
The world is now in harmony we accept each other gratefully


If your voice didn’t sing to me
Then black and white would be in calamity , now black and white
have filled their dreams With the man called
Martin Luther King JR
