Here's a man picked by his peers Letting go of his fears Trusting God to lead his way Who knew he would carry them far Leaving his footsteps in the ground as he marched on Paving the way Leading them all Black or white Together they fight Hand in hand He knew the truth At the end of the day This is our land Not made for one man He speeches legendary His methods no violence His compassionate actions speak the loudest No matter the danger Take the violence Not barking back with holding the attacks Freedom was giving Equality wanted Earned By his voice and many To some he was a plague To many a hero That speech will forever live on You know the one That's still echoing His dream Came true
