about

inspired by the life and teaching of Martin Luther King Jr.

lyrics

Sweet sweet King
Had love in his heart
Born a son of a sharecropper
Lived as a soul giver 
The river never too high to cross
The cross never to heavy to toss

Sweet sweet King
His birth sets us apart
his name on boulevards 
Across shacks, He once lived as a lad
Lighting never strikes without a slap
And Gifts are useless if not unwrapped

One thing's for sure, love conquers all
One thing's for certain, hate will be our downfall

The struggle is in the living The dead have claimed their place
Amongst the living, Some of us are still slaves
In a disgraced marketplace where love sells less than the taste

One thing's for sure, love conquers all
One thing's for certain, hate will be our downfall
