The march and Chant
We Shall Overcome and we can
We must be on the mission shall
On Dr. King’s Birthday, we must do more than just reflect on his accomplishment and establishment
A call for action
Civil Rights call
Dr. King’s vision is still among us
His Legacy reigns
Stand Up with Head Up
It’s dignity and Reality
We have abilities and assurance
We are the strength in endurance
Dr. King’s influence
There is a cause and we are the effect
It matters when and how
We are the now
A need for change and rearrange
No time to blame
Civil Rights aim
Bulls eye right on target
Dr. King wants us to wake up and not pause on his dream
Waters are flowing and we can’t just let go dry
We are America
Be ever proud
This is all Races time
Dr. King wants us to all to come together and converse
His message is clear in how we will preserver
Dr. King is looking down on us from Heaven and wondering
Did his cause die in vain?
The mission he couldn’t finish must be continued
There is work to be done if we intend to be among
Dr. King was the purpose and we are the supporters yet to walk in Dr. King’s footsteps
Step by step ever Civil Rights closer
The Lord says, “I am the world’s firm foundation”
The creation being Mighty
Don’t settle, but speak out
Don’t be still, but have a determined will
Civil Rights is still needed to fulfill
Dr. King’s birthday I couldn’t let go by
Let us all fight for Civil Rights and have courage in the movement to try
Dr. King wants us to stand with him and in honor of him
I still hear the echoes of “WE SHALL OVERCOME”.
