As we celebrate and show appreciation for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and all those involved in the March on Washington DC on August 28, 1963 a song written by Jamaican Reggae artiste, Jimmy Cliff comes to mind.

"A Hard Road to Travel"

Lyrics:

I've got a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
Said, it's a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
My mind's made up, I'll never stop, my faith will see, see me through

Let me tell you, I'm all alone, this lonesome road, I roam
I've got no love to call my very own
Oh, the river gets deeper, the hills get steeper
And the pain gets deeper every day, yeah

I've got a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
Said, it's a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
My mind's made up, I'll never stop, my faith will see, see me through

One more thing, I dream of a home, far beyond the sea
Where there is love and peace and joy for me
Oh, in my eyes, I see troubles and danger for me
But destiny where it leads me, I must go, hey

I've got a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
Said, it's a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
My mind's made up, I'll never stop, my faith will see, see me through

Help me somebody, somebody please
