harry belafonte - martin luther king lyrics

Loading...

as i wondered round the world so lost and angry
he called me home and reached out for my hand
he spoke with words that sounded more like music
the words my heart could finally understand

he showed me pride and said i could feel better
but no better than the smallest of the small
he showed me victories where no one loses
he showed me the answer for us all

and the song i sing
i sing for you, sweet martin luther king
and the song i sing
i sing for you, sweet martin luther king

and as we walked the people gathered round him
open arms the only weapons that they bore
he wore us into cloth of many colors
and armed with love he marched us off to war

and the song i sing
i sing for you, sweet martin luther king
and the song i sing
i sing for you, sweet martin luther king

the more he spoke of love the more they feared him
the more he spoke the truth their lies would grow
then suddenly with no good+byes we lost him
my sweet black prince of peace
i miss you so
they cut his dreams down thinking they would not flower
but he planted seeds everywhere he’d gone
so that someday in an endless field of colors
a million dreams would bloom to carry on

and the song i sing
i sing for you, sweet martin luther king
and the song i sing
i sing for you, sweet martin luther king

and the song i sing
i sing for you, sweet martin luther king
and the song i sing
i sing for you, my sweet prince of peace
my sweet prince of peace
i miss you so
