Because of him


One man stood up and said it all There he stood at the Lincoln Memorial spilling his heart There he stood so proud and tall Expressing what was setting this nation apart He opened the eyes of many Of every religion, gender, and race His words were not forgotten by any It was time for this nation to get on pace Our nation was hurting more than ever before The leadership was infected There would be consequences, resulting in war That’s what was bound to happen, when half our nation was neglected. From there things got better Believe it or not Because ladies and gentlemen, Martin Luther King Jr. was a trend setter That one man, he did a whole lot.
