Dr. King, Dr. King,
Because of you we sing,
And celebrate your special day,
In a special way
Dr. King, Dr. King
We recognize your dream,
And what you tried to do
That's why it's only fitting,
That today we honor you
Dr. King, Dr. King,
Because of you we sing,
And celebrate your special day,
In a special way
Dr. King, Dr. King
You made it to the mountain top,
And saw the promised land,
You said you might not get there with us,
But our freedom was at hand
Dr. King, Dr. King,
Because of you we sing,
And celebrate your special day,
In a special way
And things are so much better now
Than they were back then
But we still have a way to go,
Before we reach the end
Dr. King, Dr. King,
Because of you we sing,
And celebrate your special day,
In a special way
From Selma to Montgomery
And places in between
Your civil rights summary
Is anything but lean
What would we have done
If you weren’t on the scene
Dr. King, Dr. King,
Because of you we sing,
And celebrate your special day,
In a special way
Dr. King, Dr. King
We recognize your dream,
And what you tried to do
That's why it's only fitting,
That today we honor you
