Sample Lyrics:
Chorus:
Dr Martin Luther King had a dream,
That one day all people would be free
To live side by side in love, peace, and harmony,
No matter their color, race, or creed!
Verse 1 (of 4):
He fought for justice, freedom and equality;
This was his vision and dream for ALL humanity!
He was never too proud
To stand out from the crowd,
He worked to turn this dream into reality.
