Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. King was a man
Who saw the mountaintop
Who saw the mountaintop
Dr. King was a man
Who saw the mountaintop
And he did not stop.
Glory Hallelujah
Glory Hallelujah
Dr. King was a man
Who climbed the mountaintop
Who climbed the mountaintop
Dr. King was a man
Who climbed the mountaintop
Because he could not stop.
Glory Hallelujah
Glory Hallelujah
Dr. King was a man
Who reached the mountaintop
Who reached the mountaintop
Dr. King was a man
Who reached the mountaintop
Because he would not stop.
Glory Hallelujah
Glory Hallelujah
Dr. King was a man
Who stood on the mountaintop
Who stood on the mountaintop
Dr. King was man
Who stood on the mountaintop
Because he would not stop.
Free at last
Free at last
