(Tribute to Coretta Scott King)


Martin Luther King, Jr. Speaks

Coretta Scott King Speaks


Nobody ever warned you

Nobody could have ever known

The road that lay before you

The journey that would lead you home

How steep was the mountain

How long was the fight

In the face of something so wrong

Somebody had to make it right


Chorus:

The courage in your eyes

The wisdom in your smile

The strength within your heart

To walk the endless mile

The years have only shined upon your face

And showered you with dignity and grace

Like the way you live your life

And the light you've always shown

More than the world, more than the world

Has ever known


Through the night and the darkest hours

The promise and the faith you kept

Brought the fury and the danger

To your home where your children slept

You believed in a time for love

There'd never be a time for hate

What kind of woman keeps the dream alive

What kind of dream does a lifetime take


Chorus:

The courage in your eyes

The wisdom in your smile

The strength within your heart

To walk the endless mile

The years have only shined upon your face

Will shower you with dignity and grace

The way you've lived your life

And the light you've always shown

More than the world, more than this world

More than the world

Has ever known
