lyrics

Martin Luther King Jr

"We got some difficult days ahead.
But it really don't matter with me now.
Because I've been to the mountain top.

Like anybody I would like to live, a long life.
Longevity has it's place but i'm not concerned about that now.
I just wanna do god's will. And he's allowed to got out to the mountain.
And i've looked over.
And I've seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.
But I want you to know the night that as a poeple
will get to the promised land.

So I'm happy tonight, I'm not worried.
About anything, I'm not fearing any man.
My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord.

One day we will have to stand before the god of history.
And we will talk in turns of things we've done.
It seems that I can hear the god of history saying
That was not enough.
For I was hungry.
And you fed me not.

Maybe I can understand some of these illegal injonctions
Maybe I can understand the denial of certain basic first
amendment privileges because they have committed themselves
to that, over that.
But somewhere I read. Of the freedom of assembly.
Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech.
Somewhere I read of the freedom of press
Somewhere I read that the greatness of America, is the right
to protest, for our rights.
So just as I said we are not going to let dogs or water hoses turn us around.
We aren't gonna let any injonctions turn us around.
