Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King
|
and recognize that there are ties between us, all men and women living on the Earth.
|
Ties of hope and love, sister and brotherhood, that we are bound together
|
in our desire to see the world become a place in which our children can grow free and strong.
|
We are bound together by the task that stands before us and the road that lies ahead.
|
We are bound and we are bound.
|
|
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
|
There is a hunger in the center of the chest
|
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
|
And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest
|
|
Shed a little light, oh Lord, so that we can see, just a little light, oh Lord.
|
Wanna stand it on up, stand it on up, oh Lord,
|
wanna walk it on down, shed a little light, oh Lord.
|
|
Can't get no light from the dollar bill, don't give me no light from a TV screen.
|
When I open my eyes I wanna drink my fill from the well on the hill,
|
do you know what I mean?
|
|
Shed a little light, oh Lord, so that we can see, just a little light, oh Lord.
|
Wanna stand it on up, stand it on up, oh Lord,
|
wanna walk it on down, shed a little light, oh Lord.
|
|
There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist, there is a hunger in the center of the chest.
|
There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
|
and though the body sleeps the heart will never rest.
|
|
Oh, Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King
|
and recognize that there are ties between us.
|
All men and women living on the Earth, ties of hope and love, sister and brotherhood.
