He stood up for equality, too.

So now we…
Stand up, stand up, Dr. King wanted all of America
Stand up for Martin Luther King. To be tolerant, fair, and free.
Stand up, stand up, He stood up for what he believed in.
Stand up for Dr. King. He stood up for you and for me.

 Dr King taught us all to be dreamers
So one day the world could begin
So now we… To judge people based on their
Stand up, stand up, character
Stand up for Martin Luther King. And not on the color of their skin.
Stand up, stand up,
Stand up for Dr. King.
