April 4, 1968 In Memphis, Tennessee

The Man known as "The Prophet Of Peace"

Was violently taken away from you and me

He told us In 1963 that he had a dream

Martin had the courage to march on Selma

For the civil rights of all races

He preached non violence to you and me

He worked hard to set people free

He said that he had been to the mountain top

And that God had allowed him to

See the promised land

Martin took a lot of people by the hand

He bravely marched In protest

Against an unpopular war

His voice Is stilled forever more

How we still need him now

Like never before
