Lyrics

I'm tired of being angry child
Oppression drives me wild
Man's inhumanity to man
I just can't understand
And I tried, oh I tried so hard
I fell on my knees and cried so hard
Can anybody tell me why
We have to struggle till we die
Hey there's a reason I sing
'Cause I want to hear freedom ring
And I'll remind you all of one more thing
Remember Martin Luther King
Forty years since he was around
They keep us apart just to keep us down
Our petty squabbles we can't agree
The bigger picture we fail to see
If we join together hand in hand
To make a change sweep through the land
We can find peace and love in our hearts
That's where revolution starts
I sing a song it's true
Sing it for myself and I sing it for you
'Cause I want to hear freedom ring
I sing about Martin Luther King
I remember MLK
And how I wish he were here today
Was it the FBI, the CIA?
I still want to know who took him away
Every day we struggle and strive to survive
We fail to keep his dream alive
We close our hearts and live in fear
Truth and justice disappear
Hey there's a reason I sing
'Cause I want to hear freedom ring
And I'll remind you all of one more thing
Remember Martin Luther King
It's not enough to repeat what he said
When they're still trying to defeat what he said
It's not enough to praise what he did
We gotta do what he did
Times are hard I know it's tough
Look around you've had enough
I'm raising my voice can you hear me sing
I voted for change will it change anything
I sing a song it's true
Sing it for myself and I sing it for you
'Cause I want to hear freedom ring
I sing about Martin Luther King
Try a little bit harder to open your eyes up
You've got to wise up then you're gonna rise up
Keep on pushing a little bit harder
Try a little bit harder to open your eyes up
You've got to wise up then you're gonna rise up
Keep on pushing a little bit harder
