You know it doesn't make much sense
Bb
There ought to be a law against

Anyone who takes offense

GF
To show just how much we love you
F
And I'm sure you would agree
G
It couldn't fit more perfectly

C
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

The time is overdue
Bb
For people like me and you

Who know the way to truth
GF

In full remembrance

So let us all begin

We know that love can win

Let it out don't hold it in
