HIS MESSAGE: A Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Lyrics by Phil Morrison, music by Ron Zack

We shall overcome… We shall overcome, someday…

You wonder why with so much need there’s not enough concern
The problems of the world affect us all
The poverty, the wars, the hate – will we ever learn
Those barriers between us have to fall

But every now and then you’ll find that someone comes along
Who reminds us of our moral obligation
Humanity will not survive if we keep on doing wrong
This goes for every person, every nation

(chorus)
His Message was for love and peace
And justice he would cry
The racism and wars must cease
His dream must never die

People proud marched to the song “we shall overcome”
Arm in arm in unity they’d sing (and)
The voice behind this movement was known by everyone
That special man – Martin Luther King

“I have a dream” this man proclaimed as he rose to take a stand
To bring about some change in this great nation
And when he spoke you’d always hear the voice of a fearless man
His words would give us hope and inspiration

(chorus) His Message was for love and peace
And justice he would cry
The racism & wars must cease
His dream must never die

(bridge) Why can’t the people of the world be unified forever
Or do we have to share the pain before we come together
The welfare of our children and their future are at stake
So should we look for answers now or leave it up to fate?

(chorus) His Message was for love and peace
And justice he would cry
The racism and wars must cease
His dream must never die…..
