Just a little…
If we had a just a little courage
The world would change before our eyes
Dr. King
Your voice
With seismic intensity
Vibrates
Ripples out
Into our souls
The words
Given life in your heart
Breathed life into the world
Inspire and awaken
A child of God within
Dr. King
You shared with us a dream
Your dream,
Our hope,
The world’s future
Just a little
If we had a little bit of your courage
The clouds of forgetfulness would be lifted
You’ve been to the mountaintop
Spoke of a new world
Beyond the empire
About a promised land you saw
If we had just a little…
A little bit of your courage,
To tell the truth
A little bit of courage
To stand up for justice
The world sees the glorious sunrise
Dr. King,
You freed us from the prison cell of hatred
Led us to find the heart of love within
Just a little,
If we had a little bit of
Imagination
Devotion
Compassion as you showed us
We can meet you on the mountaintop
Join the chorus of brotherhood
Resounding from the heavens to the earth
One by one
Our colored brothers join the melody
That breaks down the walls between countries
Unison of our voices from the future
-Echoing from present to past
One by one
Characters in the middle of his-story
Hear the new tone
Joining the symphony of a new day
In the blink of an eye
The world you dreamed
The world we dream
Will come true.
