Inspite of the years that have passed
We still remember his words, "Free at Last."
But we will never be free
as long as we view one another as the enemy.
How long will it take
Before we learn from our mistakes?
Somebody tell me,
Will we ever see peace?
Will wars ever cease?
Will we ever stand where he stood?
Will we ever understand what he could?
Will we ever envision his dream?
Will we ever understand what it means?
Will we ever?
Will we ever?
If we only could,
It would be for our common good.
Somebody tell me, will ever,
Will we ever?
