"When Martin Died" lyrics

When it was announced that Martin Luther King had been killed, I think every black person just froze in their tracks, and in their minds, they were saying "Where we go from here?" It gave you joy just to hear him quote the sentence "I have a dream." It did something to your whole body. Just went from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet, and you would say "This is Martin Luther King; he's speaking, and we have to sit down and listen and enjoy what he's saying." and I'd love to see what you'd call a utopia. Everybody getting along in peace, joy, happiness. I'm sure fifty years from now, I won't be here to see it, but this would be my hope for my grandchildren and their children and their children to come, and we just pray that God will continue to bless. Learn to love, love, love each other, regardless of the situation.
