Lyrics:
Why is peace hard to keep
When we preach history
History here to repeat
Thought Martin had a dream
How can love win this fight
When we hate with our eyes
How does color make us blind
To never see what’s inside
And i think of his dream, did it even start?
And i think did we sleep?
I don’t see the start
Dream dream dream
How do we learn to lead
When we’re scared to speak free
Walk the tunnel to reach the light
How much longer? Too many nights
And I think of his dream, did it even start?
And I think did we sleep? I don’t see the start
And I think of his dream, I don’t see the start?
And I think did we sleep? Can we be the start?
Can we be the start?
Why is peace hard to keep
Watch the world as it weeps
History here to repeat
How do we start his dream
Why is peace hard to keep
When we preach history
History here to repeat
Thought Martin had a dream
How can love win this fight
When we hate with our eyes
How does color make us blind
To never see what’s inside
And i think of his dream, did it even start?
And i think did we sleep?
I don’t see the start
Dream dream dream
How do we learn to lead
When we’re scared to speak free
Walk the tunnel to reach the light
How much longer? Too many nights
And I think of his dream, did it even start?
And I think did we sleep? I don’t see the start
And I think of his dream, I don’t see the start?
And I think did we sleep? Can we be the start?
Can we be the start?
Why is peace hard to keep
Watch the world as it weeps
History here to repeat
How do we start his dream
