Let us turn our thoughts today to Martin Luther King... | And recognize that there are ties between us All men and women Living on the earth Ties of hope and love Sister and brotherhood That we are bound together In our desire to see the world become A place in which our children Can grow free and strong We are bound together By the task that stands before us And the road that lies ahead We are bound and we are bound -- James Taylor |

ReplyDeleteRight Here, Right Now, I Have A Dream
I am happy to join with you today
in what will go down in history
as the greatest demonstration for freedom
in the history of our nation.
,,, to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now.
A woman on the radio talked about revolution
when it's already passed her by
Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about
you know it feels good to be alive
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
watching the world wake up from history
Now is the time
to make real the promises of democracy.
Now is the time
to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation
to the sunlit path of racial justice.
Now is the time
to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice
to the solid rock of brotherhood.
Now is the time
to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
I saw the decade in, when it seemed
the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
then there's your sign... of the times
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up
and live out the true meaning of its creed:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that my four little children
will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color of their skin
but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning.
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
watching the world wake up from history
Right here, right now
there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
watching the world wake up from history
We cannot walk alone.
And as we walk, we must make the pledge
that we shall always march ahead.
We cannot turn back.
This will be the day when all of God's children
will be able to sing with new meaning:
"My country 'tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died,
land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From every mountainside,
let freedom ring!"
I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
watching the world wake up from history
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
Right here, right now
there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
watching the world wake up from history
Right here, right now
there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
watching the world wake up...
I still have a dream.
