Legacy of a Dream

He came to give the world a dream.
A dream of destiny,
A dream of future,
A dream of hope.

He came to shine light on a promise land.
A land of peace,
A land of togetherness,
A land of equality.

He came to stand of love.
A love of yourself,
A love of each other,
A love of mankind.

Yet he was beaten and jailed,
Taunted and persecuted,
Lied upon and killed for his fight.
A fight that still sparks the soul today.

He came to bring a message.
A message of understanding,
A message of forgiveness,
A message of freedom.

What he left was a legacy.
A legacy of love,
A legacy of promise,
A legacy of a dream.
