Sometimes dreams come true...

Today is one of those days.

I saw you on the black and white
With Blacks and White's applauding you


Beautiful Fool
Written by Don Henry

Martin Luther who did you think that you were?
Appointed by some higher up
Merely mortal, your plans were unaffordable
No one wants to pay for love

CHORUS
Oh you beautiful fool
Swimmin up stream, kickin' up waves
Dreams weren't meant to come true
That's why they call 'em dreams
Oh you beautiful fool

Walter Cronkite pre-empted Disney one night
And all us kids were so upset
We thought that you were a trouble instigator
Marchin' through our T.V. set

(chorus)

To fight a fight without a fist
all human instinct puzzles this

How dare you threaten our existence

Mahatma Gandhi, Jesus Christ, history repeats itself so nice
Consistently we are resistant to love

I saw you on the black and white
With Blacks and White's applauding you

I saw you on another time
Without a sign of life in you
(chorus)

songs, martin luther king jr, president obama
