Song lyrics:
[Ayana Butterfly]
A world of love, a world of peace
A world where true freedom rings
That's the dream of Dr. King
Let's turn the Dream into reality
[Colby Jeffers]
In 1929, there was born a king
But this king was a different kind of royalty
He was a king of love and a king of change
And for this change, his life he gave
Yeah, born in Atlanta, he was from the South
Where the ugliness of racism was all around
Back when Dr. King was still just a kid
He had made a good friend close to where he lived
But when they started school they had to separate
Back then there was a law that would segregate
All the Black and white people, just because of their race
And then that boy's parents said that he could no longer play
With his friend Martin because he was Black
The sting of racism hit him just like that
And it shaped the way that Dr. King would view this life
And all the wrongs in this world, as he worked for rights
He was the son of a pastor, rooted in the church
And to His Christian Faith, Dr. King would turn
As his deepest source of inspiration to redeem our nation
From the evils that we face, need to elevate our station
'Cause darkness can't remove darkness, only light can do that
Hate can't defeat hate, only love can do that
Dr. King showed the world how to shine like a lamp
And if we shine ours too, one day we'll have
[Ayana Butterfly]
A world of love, a world of peace
A world where true freedom rings
That's the dream of Dr. King
Let's turn the Dream into reality
From Black to white, and everything that's in between
In harmony we all sing
That's the Dream
Let's turn the Dream into reality, yeah
[Colby Jeffers]
Dr. King had a way with words
He touched the heart of all who heard
Him speak with power and might
A visionary giving hope to all the people, what a sight, yeah
More powerful than words are deeds
Dr. King was an example of how to practice what you preach
Taught about nonviolence and in the face of brutal opposition
Dr. King stayed true to what is righteous, yeah
The time is always right to do what is right
And what's more right than standing up for human rights
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
And hate is too great a burden to bear
So I'm sticking with love just like Dr. King
He gave his life so we'd all wake up to the dream
And even though truthfully his life was taken away
We give Dr. King life when we are working for change
[Ayana Butterfly]
A world of love, a world of peace
A world where true freedom rings
That's the dream of Dr. King
Let's turn the Dream into reality
From Black to white, and everything that's in between
In harmony we all sing
That's the Dream
Let's turn the Dream into reality, yeah
[Ayana Butterfly & Colby Jeffers]
A world of love, a world of peace
A world where true freedom rings
That's the dream of Dr. King
Let's turn the Dream into reality
From Black to white, and everything that's in between
In harmony we all sing
That's the Dream
Let's turn the Dream into reality, yeah
[Ayana Butterfly]
A world of love, a world of peace
A world where true freedom rings
That's the dream of Dr. King
Let's turn the Dream into reality
From Black to white, and everything that's in between
In harmony we all sing
That's the Dream
Let's turn the Dream into reality, yeah
