They Were the Heroes

I’m Martin Luther King
And I, I had a dream

It’s said the victory of Civil Rights
Was brought about thanks to me
But there were many, many more
Who made it reality
They were the heroes
Who made a dream come true

A Southern Christian Leadership Group was formed
Supported by black and white
Police arrested me thirty times
Like that would make me give up the fight

Black and white kept apart
At school and even water fountains
But President Johnson’s bold civil rights laws
Helped me climb further up the mountain
They were the heroes
Every day

"I have a dream that one day
My children will not be judged by the colour of their skin
But by the content of their character"

When my life was ended
Theirs did begin
Within days of my assassination
Legislation was ushered in
And they were the heroes
Who made the dream come true
And they were the heroes
Who made the dream come true
