Coretta Scott King was the unobstrusive enforcer
of Martin Luther King's dreams after he was assassinated in Memphis. Coretta proudly turned
Martin's hopes into reality. And she richly deserves this song tribute!!

Atlantan Coretta Scott King is paid a song tribute by Atlanta songwriter Louis Brown who wrote this song with Michael Peace. Coretta need not be anything resembling an unsung heroine. This is a song for her from the heart.
Lyrics
CORETTA SCOTT KING
Copyright Louis Brown/Michael Peace
Coretta was born
In an humble southern place
She and her Martin
Changed this earth
She carried on his dream
With a legendary grace
And showed how much
A woman could be worth
Born of flesh
That hardened into steel
Her strong values helped
Our country heal
She had the courage to remember
Oh, what a lesson to her sisters
She changed Martin's dreams
from hope to real
CAN YOU SEE
HOW FAR WE'VE COME
GOOD NIGHT DEAR SISTER
WELL DONE...WELL DONE!
When Martin died in Memphis
She took the place of her man
And made his dreams come true
Just as he planned
She climbed up that same mountain
And saw the other side
Through that dark vale
She wouldn't be denied
CHORUS
BRIDGE: She faced up to intimidation
And helped her people's liberation...
CHORUS
