Martin, you said that there would be difficult days ahead
And now those days are here just like you said.
Wars and rumors of war, nations against nations
No peace near or far
But, Martin, you warned us, but we did not take heed,
And now we have to account for all of our wrong deeds
Racism still around, violence on every hand
Still can be found
Martin, you told us to love, but men just won’t see,
That no matter the color of our skin, sisters and brothers are we.
Drugs and violence is not the way,
That is what the “Good Book” say
Martin, we pray that God will heal the land,
And make this a better world for every man
Thank you Martin for your word,
We’ll keep striving to improve our world
But, Martin, you said that there would be difficult days, and now we are
experiencing them just like you said.
