Free At Last - Free At Last (Poem)

He died with a dream still unfulfilled
He left us with words in which to rebuild
He left us with words in which to rebuild
I have a dream he preached throughout the land
A call to unite us all as humans to lend a hand
A call to unite us all as humans to lend a hand
I have seen the other side - this he did proclaim
When all of God's children will be free from shame
When all of God's children will be free from shame
When a man's character is judged - not the color of his skin
His or her heart and soul - that screams from within
His or her heart and soul - that screams from within
We are on the verge of his dream coming true
As we walk hand and hand and say thank you
As we walk hand and hand and say thank you
He was still a young man when he was slain
But for many of us - we all felt the pain
But for many of us - we all felt the pain
Martin Luther King Jr.- was this man's name
For all of us he died - and took the blame
For all of us he died - and took the blame
Let us never forget the sacrifice he made
He freed many of us black and whites - all paid
He freed many of us black and whites - all paid
As he lay to rest these words inscribed on his tombstone
FREE AT LAST - FREE AT LAST - THANK GOD ALMIGHTY
I'M FREE AT LAST
FREE AT LAST - FREE AT LAST - THANK GOD ALMIGHTY
I'M FREE AT LAST
