You know it doesn't make much sense
Bb
There ought to be a law against
Am
Anyone who takes offense

At a day in your celebration
C
Cause we all know in our minds
Bb
That there ought to be a time
Am
That we can set aside
GF
To show just how much we love you
F
And I'm sure you would agree
G
It couldn't fit more perfectly
FG
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

I just never understood
Bb
How a man who died for good
Am
Could not have a day that would
GF
Be set aside for his recognition
C
Because it should never be
Bb
Just because some cannot see
Am
The dream as clear as he
GF
that they should make it become an illusion
F
And we all know everything
G
That he stood for time will bring
F
For in peace our hearts will sing
G
Thanks to Martin Luther King

Why has there never been a holiday
Dm
Where peace is celebrated
AbBbC
all throughout the world

The time is overdue
Bb
For people like me and you
Am
Who know the way to truth
GF
Is love and unity to all God's children
C
It should never be a great event
Bb
And the whole day should be spent
Am
In full remembrance
GF
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people
F
So let us all begin
G
We know that love can win
F
Let it out don't hold it in
