Bài hát MLK Interlude Báo Lỗi

I say to you this morning

That if you have never found something

So dear and so precious to you

That you will die for it

Then you aren't fit to live

You may be 38 years old

As I happen to be

And one day

Some great opportunity stands before you

And calls upon you to stand up

For some great principle

Some great issue

Some great cause

And you refuse to do it

Because you are afraid

You refuse to do it

Because you want to live longer

You're afraid that

You will lose your job

Or you're afraid that

You will bе criticized

Or that you will lose your popularity

Or you're afraid that

Somеbody will stab you

Or shoot at you

Or bomb your house

And so you refuse to take the stand

Well you may go on

And live until you are 90

But you're just as dead at 38

As you would be at 90

And the sensation

Of breathing in your life is

But the belated announcement

Of an earlier death of the spirit

You died when you refused

To stand up for right

You died when you refused

To stand up for truth

You died when you refused

To stand up for justice
