U2 - MLK
Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 -- April 4, 1968) According to Bono: "MLK" has been written "as sort of a lullaby for an idea that was dying in our country: the idea of non-violence... All inspired by a black reverend from Atlanta who refused to hate because he thought love would do a better job." (from "In the Name of Love: King's Legacy Lives On" by Michelle Watson, The Daily Journal, January 24, 2004) U2 Lyrics - M.L.K. (The Unforgettable Fire) Sleep Sleep tonight And may your dreams Be realized If the thunder cloud Passes rain So let it rain Rain down on him So let it be So let it be Sleep Sleep tonight And may your dreams Be realized If the thundercloud Passes rain (This lyric, to me, is about letting the bad times pass on by.) So let it rain Let it rain Rain on him P.S.: I do not own the rights to this Video.
