Lyrics

0:00When it was announced that
0:04Martin Luther King had been killed
0:08I think every black person just froze
0:12In their tracks and in their minds
0:16They were saying
0:16Where we go from here
0:19It gave you joy just to hear him quote the sentence
0:24I have a dream
0:26It did something to your whole body
0:29Just went from the top of
0:31Your head to the bottom of your feet
0:34And you would say
0:35This is Martin Luther King he's speaking
0:39And we have to sit down and listen
0:42And enjoy what he's saying
0:46And I'd love to see what you'd call a utopia
0:50Everybody getting along in peace joy happiness
0:58I'm sure fifty years from now
1:01I won't be here to see it
1:03But this would be my hope for my grandchildren
1:09And their children and their children to come
1:13And we just pray that God will continue to bless
1:19Learn to love love love each other
1:24Regardless of the situation
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 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's 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 getting along in peace joy happiness
I'm sure fifty 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
