Happy birthday Dr. King

With the palm of one hand

You spread love across the land

You didn’t care about race, color or creed

You served those in need

Happy birthday Dr. King

During troubling times you remained strong

You corrected what was wrong

You were a beacon of light

You fought for what was right

Happy birthday Dr. King

You stood firm without fear

Cause you knew God’s will was clear

You made the ultimate sacrifice

Without thinking twice

Happy birthday Dr. King

You asked that we let freedom ring

From near and far

You set the bar

You left a legacy

For all to see

Happy birthday Dr. King
