Martin St. Martin

Martin, your name will never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never, never be forgotten

And up out the South, there came a man

Trying to spread a little love around this wasted land

He had compassion for his fellow men

Regardless of the colors of their skin

Now I was touched by the things that he would do and say

He told the true believers love would surely make a way

He had a dream of peace and brotherhood

Some called him a prophet, and some misunderstood

But Martin, your name will never, never, never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never be forgotten

Martin, your name will never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never, never be forgotten

After the march to Washington

Everybody figured that his work was done

He left his home and his family

To help some folks in Memphis, Tennessee

I recall the words he spoke just hours before he died

"Well, I've been up to the mountain, children

I've seen the other side"

You live in our hearts like a shining memory

Your life will lead us in our search for unity

And Martin, your name will never, never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never be forgotten

Martin, your name will never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never, never be forgotten

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil, for I know that Thou art with me

Peace be with you, brothers

Peace be with you, sisters

And I'm leaving for a better land, I know

Saint Martin, your name will never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never, never, never be forgotten

Saint Martin, your name will never be forgotten, no

And Martin, your name will never, never, never be forgotten

'Til the tenth generation, all over this nation

We will remember

Saint Martin, Saint Martin, Saint Martin, Saint Martin

Saint Martin, Saint Martin, Saint Martin

Will never be forgotten
