MLK Day

Martin Luther King, Jr.
(January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down him
So let it be
So let it be

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him

- Lyrics to "MLK" by U2 (from 1984's The Unforgettable Fire)

Two years ago, on Monday, January 21, 2008, I posted this piece on MLK Day regarding another song by U2 dedicated to the slain civil rights leader, "Pride (In The Name of Love)."
