Strawbs - Martin Luther King's Dream lyrics

rate me

Speak only with your voices<br />

And not the sword<br />

Listen to your leaders<br />

And the words of the Lord.<br />

<br />

Shake hands with your brothers<br />

Has been my theme<br />

For I have had a dream.<br />

<br />

While fury gathers around you<br />

Provoking you to hate<br />

Remember what I told you<br />

Don't heed the dangled bait.<br />

<br />

The leaders of the country<br />

Are speaking much the same<br />

As those who've gone before them<br />

And those who are to blame.<br />

<br />

Proclaim a day of mourning<br />

And let the flags fly low<br />

The future is before us<br />

As I have told you so.
