(Michael Bolton) (Tribute to Coretta Scott King) Martin Luther King, Jr. Speaks Coretta Scott King Speaks Nobody ever warned you Nobody could have ever known The road that lay before you The journey that would lead you home How steep was the mountain How long was the fight In the face of something so wrong Somebody had to make it right Chorus: The courage in your eyes The wisdom in your smile The strength within your heart To walk the endless mile The years have only shined upon your face And showered you with dignity and grace Like the way you live your life And the light you've always shown More than the world, more than the world Has ever known Through the night and the darkest hours The promise and the faith you kept Brought the fury and the danger To your home where your children slept You believed in a time for love There'd never be a time for hate What kind of woman keeps the dream alive What kind of dream does a lifetime take Chorus: The courage in your eyes The wisdom in your smile The strength within your heart To walk the endless mile The years have only shined upon your face Will shower you with dignity and grace The way you've lived your life And the light you've always shown More than the world, more than this world More than the world Has ever known
