Lyrics

Let us turn our thoughts today
To Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us.
All men and women
Livin' on the earth
Ties of open love of
Sister and brotherhood
And we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
a place in which our children can grow free and strong
we are bound together
By the task that stands before us
and the road that lies ahead
we are bound, we are bound
Theres a feeling like the clenching of a fist
theres a hunger and a center of the chest
Theres a passage through the darkness and the mist
Written by: James Taylor
