[Justin Bieber - MLK Interlude lyrics]
I say to you this morning
That if you have never found something so
Dear and so precious to you that
You will die for it
Then you aren't fit to live
You may be 38 years old as I happen to be
And one day
Some great opportunity stands before you
And calls upon you to stand
Up for some great principle
Some great issue, some great cause
And you refuse to do it
Because you are afraid
You refuse to do it because
You want to live longer
You're afraid that you will lose your job
Or you're afraid that you will bе criticized
Or that you will lose your popularity
Or you're afraid that somеbody
Will stab you or
Shoot at you or bomb your house
And so you refuse to take the stand
Well, you may go on and live until you are 90
But you're just as dead at 38
As you would be at 90
And the sensation of breathing in
Your life is but the
Belated announcement of an earlier
Death of the spirit
You died when you refused to
Stand up for right
You died when you refused to
Stand up for truth
You died when you refused to
Stand up for justi
That if you have never found something so
Dear and so precious to you that
You will die for it
Then you aren't fit to live
You may be 38 years old as I happen to be
And one day
Some great opportunity stands before you
And calls upon you to stand
Up for some great principle
Some great issue, some great cause
And you refuse to do it
Because you are afraid
You refuse to do it because
You want to live longer
You're afraid that you will lose your job
Or you're afraid that you will bе criticized
Or that you will lose your popularity
Or you're afraid that somеbody
Will stab you or
Shoot at you or bomb your house
And so you refuse to take the stand
Well, you may go on and live until you are 90
But you're just as dead at 38
As you would be at 90
And the sensation of breathing in
Your life is but the
Belated announcement of an earlier
Death of the spirit
You died when you refused to
Stand up for right
You died when you refused to
Stand up for truth
You died when you refused to
Stand up for justi
