Dear Dr. King

We honor you in a special way

By saying happy birthday

With crystal clear vision

You set out on a mission

You spread love across the land

With the palm of your hand

You had no fear

Cause you knew God was near

You stayed strong

While seeking to right every wrong

You made the world rejoice

With the sound of your voice

You stuck to your principles

As you collected small miracles

They were your guide

You saw no reason to hide

Your faith was the key

You knew what had to be

Then everything ended

You never pretended

You went home

You didn’t have time to roam

You left a legacy behind

It’s stays on the mind

So in our own way

We want to say

Happy birthday
