Hello .....Just a reminder that January 15th is the Birthday Anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.  Every year I try to send out this original song written as a tribute to this great man.  I hope you enjoy it and thank you for your ongoing support. --Phil

                                                  music: Ron Zack
                                                  words: Phil Morrison
 
    We shall overcome....we shall overcome, someday.....
 
   You wonder why with so much need there's not enough concern
   The problems of the world affect us all
   The poverty, the wars, the hate - will we ever learn
   Those barriers between us have to fall
 
    But every now and then you'll find that someone comes along
    Who reminds us of our moral obligation
    Humanity will not survive if we keep on doing wrong
    This goes for every person, every nation
 
(chorus)
              His Message was for love and peace
              And justice he would cry
             The racism and wars must cease
              His dream must never die
 
    People proud marched to the song "we shall overcome"
    Arm in arm in unity they'd sing (and)
    The voice behind this movement was known by everyone
    That special man - Martin Luther King
 
    "I have a dream" this man proclaimed as he rose to take a stand
     To bring about  some change in this great nation
    And when he spoke you'd always hear the voice of a fearless man
    His  words would give us hope and inspiration
 
 (chorus)     His Message was for love & peace
                  And justice he would cry
                  The racism & wars must  cease
                   His dream must never die
 
 (bridge)  Why can't the people of the world be unified forever
               Or do we have to share the pain before we come together
               The welfare of our children and their future are at stake
               So should we look for answers now or leave it up to fate?
 
  (chorus)    His Message was for love & peace
                  And justice he would cry
                 The racism and wars must cease
                 His dream must never die.....
