作曲：

Once upon this planet earth

Lived a man of humble birth

Preaching love and freedom for his fellow man

He was dreaming of a day

Peace would come to earth to stay

And he spread this message all across the land

Turn the other cheek he'd plead

Love thy neighbor was his creed

Pain humiliation death he did not dread

With his Bible at his side

From his foes he did not hide

It's hard to think that this great man is dead Oh yes

Will the murders never cease

Are thy men or are they beasts

What do they ever hope ever hope to gain

Will my country fall stand or fall

Is it too late for us all

And did Martin Luther King just die in vain

Cos he'd seen the mountain top

And he knew he could not stop

Always living with the threat of death ahead

Folks you'd better stop and think

Cos we're heading for the brink

What will happen now that he is dead

He was for equality

For all people you and me

Full of love and good will hate was not his way

He was not a violent man

Tell me folks if you can

Just why why was he shot down the other day

Well see he'd seen the mountain top

And he knew he could not stop

Always living with the threat of death ahead

Folks you'd better stop and think'and feel again

For we're heading for the brink

What's gonna happen now that the king of love is dead
