Martin Luther King, he had a vision 
And that’s a fact

So don’t look back

(CHORDS LIKE ABOVE) 

In nineteen sixty three my father married 
A black woman 
And when they walked the street they were in danger 
Look what you’ve done 

But they just kept on walking forward hand in hand 
The future looks as though it has come around 
And maybe we have finally found our common ground 
We’re the children of one father 
If you’re looking back don’t bother 
We’re black and white America 

The future looks as though it has come around 
And maybe we have finally found our common ground 
We’re the children of one father 
If you’re looking back don’t bother 
We’re black and white America
