"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

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.

shed a little light, oh Lord

so that we can see..."

- the one and only James Taylor.
