[Coretta Scott King Speaks]
|
|
Nobody ever warned you
|
Nobody could have ever known
|
The road that lay before you
|
The journey that would lead you home
|
How steep was the mountain
|
How long was the fight
|
In the face of something so wrong
|
Somebody had to make it right
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
The courage in your eyes
|
The wisdom in your smile
|
The strength within your heart
|
To walk the endless mile
|
The years have only shined upon your face
|
And showered you with dignity and grace
|
Like the way you live your life
|
And the light you've always shown
|
More than the world, more than the world
|
Has ever known
|
|
Through the night and the darkest hours
|
The promise and the faith you kept
|
Brought the fury and the danger
|
To your home where your children slept
|
You believed in a time for love
|
There'd never be a time for hate
|
What kind of woman keeps the dream alive
|
What kind of dream does a lifetime take
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
The courage in your eyes
|
The wisdom in your smile
|
The strength within your heart
|
To walk the endless mile
|
The years have only shined upon your face
|
Will shower you with dignity and grace
|
The way you've lived your life
|
And the light you've always shown
|
More than the world, more than this world
|
More than the world
|
Has ever known
|
