To Martin Luther King
 And recognize that there are ties between us
 All men and women
 Living on the Earth
 Ties of hope and love
 Sister and brotherhood
 That we are bound together
 In our desire to see the world become
 A place in which our children
 Can grow free and strong
 We are bound together
 By the task that stands before us
 And the road that lies ahead
 We are bound and we are bound

 There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
 There is a hunger in the center of the chest
 There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
 And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

 (Chorus)
 Shed a little light, oh Lord
 So that we can see
 Just a little light, oh Lord
 Wanna stand it on up
 Stand it on up, oh Lord
 Wanna walk it on down
 Shed a little light, oh Lord

 Can't get no light from the dollar bill
 Don't give me no light from a TV screen
 When I open my eyes
 I wanna drink my fill
 From the well on the hill

 (Do you know what I mean?)
 - Chorus -

 There is a feeling like the clenching of a fist
 There is a hunger in the center of the chest
 There is a passage through the darkness and the mist
 And though the body sleeps the heart will never rest

 Oh, Let us turn our thoughts today
 To Martin Luther King
 And recognize that there are ties between us
 All men and women
 Living on the Earth
 Ties of hope and love
 Sister and brotherhood
