Rise, Shine, & Deliver
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Civil Rights Activist
Fought for Equality and Justice
50 years ago
People came together for action
Fought to see the light
Freedom was out of sight
It was block by the color of white
50 years later
It’s a new reaction
They have finally got their right
Now the future is bright
Like diamonds on a kite
Let’s rejoice and be delight
Time to celebrate and commemorate
