[Mavis Staples - MLK Song lyrics]

If I can help somebody as they pass along
If I can cheer somebody with a word or song
If I can show somebody
That their travelling wrong
Then my living will not be in vain
If I can do my duty as a Christian or
If I should sing salvation to
The world we rort
If I can spread the message
As the master taught
Then my living will not be in vain

Well it really doesn't matter
Most of the deed's I have done
It really doesn't matter
The prizes I may have won
I'd like for somebody to say
I've tried to love someone
When I have to leave my day
And the crawl for justice
I have somebody run

And the walk for the hungry, I fed someone
And in the march for peace tell
Them I played the drum
When I have to meet my day
And the crawl for justice
I helped somebody run
And the walk for the hungry, I fed someone
And in the march for peace tell
Them I played the drum
When I have to meet my day
