In Memory of Martin Luther King

Dr. Martin Luther King
Marched to make freedom ring

He was leader of civil rights
And visited Asia and Africa,
Witnessing many sad sights

With his every breath
He stood for justice
Up to the day of his death

He left a wife and children behind
Cut down by a bullet from a sick mind
He asked a friend to sing
"Precious Lord, Take My Hand,"
Moments before he left this land

His spirit will never die
All must join in justice' outcry
Discrimination, humiliation, abomination
Must be eliminated from our nation

Black, white, brown, yellow or red,
All must carry on the movement he led
