What would Martin say
in this time, at this moment…
So much progress, so much pain
so much loss and sorrow…
Other marchers lost,
those who carried the banner
who fought the good fight for justice…
 
What would Martin say
So much of liberty stolen
in the haze of war and struggle
so many in the streets, marching,
fighting for justice, for supremacy…
So many who know better
staying silent in their comfort…
 
Yes, what would Martin say
So many years forward, history,
so many days of pain, of anguish
in the country, the streets…
So many yet yearning, longing,
for justice, for dignity…
So much more to do, to dare,
to fulfill his dream, our sacred dream…
