Listen to this amazing performance of “Shed A Little Light”
One of our favorite songs about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
A Man Name King
Once there was a man named King, Alleluia
They called him Martin Luther King, Alleluia
King was wise and he was good. Alleluia
He believed in brotherhood. Alleluia
Now Martin’s eyes were colorblind, Alleluia
For he loved people of every kind. Alleluia
He had a dream for you and me, Alleluia
He knew that all men must be free. Alleluia
The freedom road is weary and long Alleluia
But Martin sang a freedom song Alleluia
One day Martin sang no more Alleluia
But he had change the world forever more. Alleluia
We must keep the dream alive, Alleluia
Freedom’s song can never die. Alleluia
If we join hands it will come true, Alleluia
For freedom starts with me and you. Alleluia
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal.’”
Once there was a man named King, Alleluia
They called him Martin Luther King. Alleluia
