MLK Song Lyrics

If I can help somebody
As they pass along
If I can cheer somebody
With a word or a song
If I can show somebody
That they're traveling wrong
Then my living
Will not be in vain.
If I can do my duty
As a Christian ought
If I should sing salvation
To the world He wrought
If I can spread the message
As the Master taught
Then my living
Will not be in vain
Well it really doesn't matter
Most of the deeds I've done

It really doesn't matter
The prizes I may have won
I'd like for somebody to say
I tried to love someone
When I
Have to meet my day
In the crawl for justice
I helped somebody run
In the walk for the hungry
I fed someone
And in the march for peace
Tell them I played the drum
When I
Have to meet my day
In the crawl for justice
I helped somebody run
In the walk for the hungry
I fed someone
And in the march for peace
Tell them I played the drum
When I
Have to meet my day
