MLK (Folk Legend)

Martin Luther King was a friend to the poor
And Martin Luther King was opposed the the war
Martin Luther King was a king and so much more
He was a patriot

Martin Luther King was a master politician
'Cause Martin Luther King used love for ammunition
Martin Luther King had a most important vision
Of dignity

And we shall overcome
And we shall become one
And we will sing your song
We will carry on

Martin Luther King fought to end segragation
Martin Luther King sought to unify a nation
From Washington D.C. to the Flathead Reservation
And everywhere

Yes and we shall overcome
And we shall become one
We will sing your song
We will carry on! (x3)

Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone!!! When the Doctor said we shall become one, we knew he wasn't talking about imperialism or social darwinism. And when he sang we shall overcome, we knew he wasn't singing about tricking the the citizenry into an illegal invasion of another country and genocide. And when he shouted I have a dream, we knew he spoke of equality--not fast-food capitalism nor capital punishment. The man was a hero, a soldier, and a Christian. Thank you Dr. King for showing us a better way.
