MLK

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realised
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain down on he
But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5:24 ASV

MLK: "No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." From "I Have A Dream" Speech by Rev. Martin Luther King at the March on Washington, August 28, 1963
