Dr. Martin Luther King
Man of vision whom we sing
Had a dream, he had a goal
Blacks would take a different role

No more hate because of race...

Chorus
Freedom song, now happily we sing
Freedom song, such peace does it bring
Freedom song, for all people it does ring
Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King

He desired treatment fair...

We’ll remember this great man...

Chorus

Dr. Martin Luther King…

*on Dr. Martin Luther King’s tombstone
