It Started With A Dream


Martin Luther King had a dream For his people to be freed To be able to walk into any place And be looked at beyond just race It wasn't easy but it was worth the chase Setting the groundwork for every other race To shape America to what it is today So race and gender wouldn't effect pay So every person could look to their left side And know they have the same rights Where cases like Brown vs. Board of Education Made sure every injustice was brought to light So no matter what problems the country is facing Every child had a right to education To not be looked down on because of color For us all to be equal to one another Where we could walk as sister and brother Martin Luther King had a dream For his people to be freed
