Pride: In the Name of Martin Luther King, Jr.
(To the tune of U2'ss "Pride In the Name of Love" for 2nd Grade, Unit 5-"Picture Book Of Martin Luther King Jr.)
by Sylvia McPherson adapted from a song by U2

One man come in the name of love,
Leading a boycott,
Peaceful marches were all around,
Racism has to stop!

CHORUS:
Martin Luther King,
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King,
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Early morning, April fourth
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.

CHORUS:
Martin Luther King,
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King,
Martin Luther King, Jr.
