Two, three.
Let us [Gb] turn [Gm] our thoughts today to Martin [F] Luther King
and [Gm] recognize that [Bb] there are ties between us,
all men [Gm] and women living [Eb] on the earth.
[Cm] Ties of hope [F] and [Gm] love, of sister and brotherhood.
That [Bb] we are bound together in our desire to see [Gm] the world
become [F] a [Dm] place in which [Eb] our children [Cm] can grow free
and [F] strong.
[G] We [Bb] are bound together [Eb] by the task that stands [G] before us
[Dm] and the road that [Eb] lies ahead.

There is a hunger in the center [Eb] of the chest.
[F] There is [Bm] a passage through the darkness [Eb] and the [Gb] mist.
[Bb] And though the body speaks, the heart will never [F] rest.
Shed a little [Eb] light on [Bb] the world.

You give me [C] no light from a [Fm] cloud up there.
Don't give me [Eb] no light from a TV screen.
[Cm] No, no, no.
When I open [Eb] my eyes, I wanna keep [G] my faith
from the well on the air.
[Gm] I know you know what [Bb] I mean.
Shed a little light, shed a little light, [Cm] oh [Bb] Lord.

[G] [Bb] There is a feeling like the clenching of a [Gb] fist.
There is a hunger in the center [Cm] of the chest.
[F] There is a [G] passage through the darkness and the light.
[Bb] And though the body sleeps, the heart will never [F] rest.
Let us [Gm] turn our thoughts [Cm] today to Martin [C] [F] Luther King.

Ties of hope [F] and love, [Gm] sister and brother, oh.
