Martin’s dream Darkness lay upon our land, People judged by the color of their hand. But he spoke of a dream, a light so bright, To lead us out of the shadows of night. With words of peace, he took his stand, To bring justice and love to all the land. He told us that hate is a burden too great, To replace it with love before it's too late. Though the road may be long and the mountains be high, He promised a daybreak would soon fill the sky. The arc of the universe bends toward the right, If we walk with our neighbors and keep up the fight. From the valleys of fear to the "Promised Land" peaks, It is justice and freedom that every soul seeks. Now sixty-plus years have passed since his call, but the dream is a duty that belongs to us all. In 2026, we still march for the true, To finish the work that he started to do.
