Ambassadors of peace stand and be counted
For it’s later than you think – the battle is hardy
Martin Luther King was a very great man
Whose words in these days need we understand
Said not to judge another by the color of their skin
But by the content of their character
Words from the prophets
People listen but don’t hear
They continue to live in fortresses made of fear
Walls of segregation have now been brought down
So why in the tears of history must we down?
When his history isn’t our story anymore
People of America, know who you are
People of Asia, know who you are
European people, know who you are
People of Russia, know who you are
People from Africa, know who you are
North America, South America, know who you are
Know who you are
People of the World, know who you are
Martin Luther King was a very great man
Whose words in these days need we understand
Said not to judge another by the color of their skin
But by the content of their character
Words from the prophets people listen but don’t hear
They continue to live in fortresses made of fear
Walls of segregation have not been brought down
So why in the tears of history must we drown?
When his story isn’t our story anymore
