One man didn't march alone.
He had many followers marching too.
One man didn't stand alone.
He has supporters following along.

One man faced racial hate.
Which all races still face today.
So, have anything really changed?

We have more freedom.
We have more rights.
And more religious opinions.

One man used scriptures and the world out look.
To point out that we are the same.
And only think we are different.

We saw debate about the water fountain.
When out of them came the same clear water.
We saw many get arrested during their protesting.
Just to request a fairness rule.

When legal rules was used for discrimination.

One man bought attention to our ills.
Which exposed one race more uncontrollable by the law.
And once they faced justice for the government.

Then, we saw the Jim Crow's days fall apart.

Everything in life starts with one person.
And Jesus understood God assigned situation.
I guess that's why he's the face of many nations.

We have seen Emperors, Prince, Princess and Queens.
But none has achieved more in society's days then Martin Luther King.

We do know the Lord Jesus played apart.
Cause the Civil Rights fighter kept him , as apart of his heart.
