Understand, Reflect and Respond
Stand up on principles
Respond on action
Movement
Turn injustice to equal justice
Dr. King fought hard and travelled far
Journey’s beyond
His dream to look upon
We must believe we can
Our hearts must transcend
Turn the pave of Racism into togetherness as one
Remember Dr. Kings struggles
Never tire
We must gain access
Prosecution unseen
Dr. King’s voice shouted anguished
The movement that was determined
His vision of Civil Rights
Dr. King is our inspiration
Our former President Obama words, “Yes we can and shall”
We must maintain our fight in always exercising our rights
The powers that be want all races to go back into time of then
The world needs to understand, we went forward, and can’t go back
Dr. King wasn’t about separation, but bringing all races together in harmony
The light seems to keep dimming, and we can’t let it diminish
Once in darkness, always in darkness
Washington seems to have closed its eyes
We the American people must realize
Stand up for the cause
We still have work to do that Dr. King couldn’t finish
He sits high and is looking down
What happened to the people I fought for
We must rule Racism out
It wasn’t easy for Dr. King and it won’t be easy again
It’s a purpose and demand
We are all one on America’s land
Like I said earlier, Dr. King’s message for us is UNDERSTAND, REFLECT and RESPOND
Don’t let Dr. King’s dream die out
We are his dream, and we must fulfill
Continue to prevail without fail
Follow Dr. King’s trail
It is more important than ever before
We can’t go backwards
Together, we need to overcome and shall be determined
Dr. King saw the dream
We must embrace his efforts
We need to see a better tomorrow
Reflect back, but only for the moment
We shall overcome, one day
Through God’s help, we will fulfill.
