Lyrics
Thoughts on My Enounter with Martin Luther King III
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time moves on 24 at a time
Take it or leave it because it’s leaving you
Perfect past, unavoidable future, present tense will forever come and go
Come and go
Because you know more malevolent things
Feed the dark than you not looking like me
Take a minute or a second to disarm
More importantly, can you see it if you watch?
I am an animal and you are not so far behind it
Why do we let them tell us that we stink but they are swimming in shit?
A diligent effort to secure what’s mine show me answers that prove untrue
Militance and anger via TV device
I want to die about as much as I want to kill you
If we occupy a similar space at the same time
Will one of us end up dead?
We got mothers and fathers, sons and daughters
You want a full graveyard and a cold headstone instead
I am an animal, and you are not so far behind it
Why do we let them tell us that we stink
But they are swimming in shit?
Watch for the switch
April the 5th, a day like any other an idea crossed my head
And I took it out about as far as it could go
And I think to myself
What if one day one single ray of light shows itself to the people
Like the stories I’ve been told
I think of a place where harmony sustains the people
It’s easier to think of someone else
We become a positive people doing positive things
And we find a brand new way
It’s a way to live that’s better for your health
It’s easier to take it easy on yourself
April the 5th a day like any other and I try to turn it all around
I try to find some kind of ebb and flow
I think to myself if it’s the ring of life point me to the fight
I got a chip on my shoulder and a plate in my head to show
I think of a place where harmony sustains the people
It’s easier to think of someone else
You see more of yourself in others
You see more of yourself in yourself
April the 5th, a day like any other an idea crossed my head
And I took it out about as far as it could go
And I think to myself
What if one day one single ray of light shows itself to the people
Like the stories I’ve been told
April the 5th a day like any other and I try to turn it all around
I think to myself if it’s the ring of life point me to the fight
And I think to myself
What if one day one single ray of light shows itself to the people
Like the stories I’ve been told
