Strawbs - Martin Luther King's Dream (1970)

Speak only with your voices
And not with the sword
Listen to your leaders
And on the words of the Lord.

Shake hands with your brothers
It has been my motto
Because I had a dream.

As anger builds around you
And provokes you to hate
Remember what I told you
Ignore the dangling bait.

Shake hands with your brothers
It has been my motto
Because I had a dream.

The leaders of the country
Speak much the same
As those who came before them
And those who are to blame.

Shake hands with your brothers
It has been my motto
Because I had a dream.

Call for a day of mourning
And let the flags fly deep
The future is ahead of us
As I told you.

Shake hands with your brothers
It has been my motto
Because I had a dream.
