A King Climbs to the Mountaintop (In Honor of Martain Luther King, Jr.'s Birthday)
They hissed hate at him, and he dreamed a dream.
They flung mud at him, and he envisioned a mountaintop.
They fired bullets at him and flung him to the earth.
Bullets shattered his body,
But they didn't shatter his dream;
Nor did they dim the stars.
They flung mud at him, and he envisioned a mountaintop.
They fired bullets at him and flung him to the earth.
Bullets shattered his body,
But they didn't shatter his dream;
Nor did they dim the stars.
