lyrics

THE MARTIN LUTHER KING MARCH (by) CURTIS DODSON
HERE COMES MARTIN LUTHER (repeat 4 times)

MARTIN LUTHER KING HE WAS A SOLDIER OF THE EARTH
HE MARCHED AGAINST THOSE FORCES THAT BROUGHT MISERY AND HURT
HE MARCHED AGAINST OPPRESSION
HE MARCHED AGAINST DEFEAT
HE MARCHED AGAINST THE STRONG THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE WEAK

MARTIN LUTHER KING HE WAS A MAN OF HUMAN PAIN
HE FELLOWSHIP WITH COMMON FOLK AND YET HE WALKED WITH KINGS
HE KNEW THE PAINS OF HUNGER
HE KNEW THE FEAST OF WEALTH
HE KNEW THE WICKED BLOWS OF LIFE THE MASSES HAD BEEN DEALT

HERE COMES MARTIN LUTHER (repeat 4 times)

MARTIN LUTHER KING HE SUFFERED MANY EVIL DEEDS
HE WENT TO JAIL A MANY TIMES THAT WE ALL MIGHT BE FREE
HE SET ASIDE HIS OWN DESIRES
HIS FAMILY'S NEGLECT
HE DID IT ALL THAT YOU AND YOURS MIGHT HAVE IT BETTER YET

HE MARCHED AGAINST ALL IGNORANCE
HE MARCHED AGAINST DISEASE
HE MARCHED AGAINST THE CHAINS THAT KEPT THE POOR IN POVERTY
HE MARCHED AGAINST DISHONEST MEN IN GOVERNMENTS ON HIGH
HE MARCHED AGAINST THOSE POLICIES DEPRIVING MEN OF RIGHTS

HERE COMES MARTIN LUTHER (repeat 4 times)

HE MARCHED IN ALABAMA
HE MARCHED IN TENNESSEE
HE MARCHED AGAINST DIVIDED SCHOOLS AND RACE DISUNITY

HE MARCHED WHEN HE WAS HAPPY
HE MARCHED WHEN HE WAS SAD
HE MARCHED WHEN THERE WAS DANGER AT THE END OF EVERY PATH

HE MARCHED FOR ALL HUMANITY
HE PREACHED A COMMON GOAL
HE MARCHED TO RAISE THE CONSCIENCENESS OF MAN AND WOMAN BOTH
HE MARCHED TO STOP BRUTALITY
HE MARCHED TO STOP THE STRIFE
HE MARCHED, HE MARCHED WITH DIGNITY AND THEN HE GAVE HIS LIFE

HERE COMES MARTIN LUTHER (repeat 4 times)

MARTIN LUTHER KING
HIS HOPES REIGN SURPREME
HE PASSED THE BATTON AND LEFT US WITH A DREAM
NOW IT'S IN THE HANDS OF EVERY RACE OF MAN
TO FOLLOW IN HIS FOOT STEPS
AND CARRY OUT THE PLAN

HE MARCHED IN ALABAMA
HE MARCHED IN TENNESSEE
HE MARCHED AGAINST DIVIDED SCHOOLS AND RACE DISUNITY
HE MARCHED TO STOP BRUTALITY
HE MARCHED TO STOP THE STRIFE
HE MARCHED, HE MARCHED WITH DIGNITY AND THEN HE GAVE HIS LIFE

HERE COMES MARTIN LUTHER (repeat 4 times)

HERE - COMES - MARTIN - LUTHER - K----I----N----G HE MARCH
