Memphis heat in April
3 days past the fool
If  you ask me the fool would be
In what this man would do

He would grab hold of a nation
This man without a clue
That every color's equal
In the land of Red, White, and Blue

From what I see it seems to me
We lost something in-between
This nation full of sorrow
Needs another Martin Luther King

There will always be that someone
Who doesn't understand
That takes the measure of our worth
Into their own blood soaked hands

You can cry foul if you want to
But it won't do you much good
When peace, love, and understanding
Are never understood

From what I see it seems to me
We lost something in-between
This nation full of hatred
Needs another Martin Luther King

When you have those who force themselves
On the innocent among
Who take more than they're given
Violence does not make one strong

More instagator than peace maker
All vying for the top
With no care for a solution
In helping this to stop

From what I see it seems to me
We lost something in-between
A nation now without a clue
Needs another Martin Luther King
