Girls and boys feel happy about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.Justice rang from his voice.
Righteousness rolled down like the waters.
You faced injustice,
hate and strife.
You fought for what should be.
You risked and finally gave your life,
So others could be free.
You could have hated,
but you chose
To love and understand,
Rejecting violence to oppose
An evil in our land.
You'd not inflame, but
still inspire,
With hope that wouldn't yield.
You called for boycotts, not for fire,
With faith your only shield.
You marched in protest
for the poor
Of every shade and hue.
So many hardships you'd endure
For those who needed you.
You stirred a nation's
heart and mind;
Your message still is clear:
That color's not how we're defined.
Your memory's always near.
Each year your birth's
a holiday.
The nation honors you,
And wonders when we'll see the day
Your dream at last comes true.
Martin Luther King
(sung to Mary Had a Little Lamb)
Who was Martin Luther King, Luther King, Luther King?
He was a man who had a dream
That we would all be free.
Martin Luther gave a speech, gave a speech, gave a speech.
He wanted all of us to live In peace and harmony.
He won the Nobel Prize for Peace,
Prize for Peace,
Prize for Peace.
For his love for all the world
And for you and me.

On Martin Luther King Day
Treat people kindly.
Do what is fair.
Work for all people.
Show that your care.
Change what is wrong,
But, please do not fight.
Think of new ways
To change wrong to right.
These are the ways
If we work as a team,
To remember the man
Who said, "I have a dream."
