今天是馬丁路德金恩紀念日,一整天都在聽 Nina Simone 的歌... Once upon this planet earth, Lived a man of humble birth, Preaching love and freedom for his fellow man, He was dreaming of a day, Peace would come to earth to stay, And he spread this message all across the land. Turn the other cheek hed plead, Love thy neighbor was his creed, Pain humiliation death, he did not dread With his Bible at his side, From his foes he did not hide, Its hard to think that this great man is dead. (Oh yes) Will the murders never cease, Are thy men or are they beasts? What do they ever hope, ever hope to gain? Will my country fall, stand or fall? Is it too late for us all? And did Martin Luther King just die in vain? Cause hed seen the mountain top, And he knew he could not stop, Always living with the threat of death ahead. Folks youd better stop and think Cause were heading for the brink. What will happen now that he is dead? He was for equality, For all people you and me, Full of love and good will, hate was not his way. He was not a violent man. Tell me folks if you can, Just why, why was he shot down the other day? Well see hed seen, the mountain top. And he knew he could not stop, Always living with the threat of death ahead. Folks youd better stop and think and feel again, For were heading for the brink. Whats gonna happen now that the king of love is dead? - 《Why? (The King of Love is Dead)》by Nina Simone, Apr. 7, 1968 (3 days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.)
