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

Aand 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 justice

[Spanish Translation]

Te digo esta mañana, que si nunca has encontrado algo tan querido y tan preciado para ti que vas a morir por ello

Entonces no estás en condiciones de vivir

Puede que tengas 38 años como yo

Y un día se te presenta una gran oportunidad

Y te pide que defiendas algún gran principio

Algún gran problema, alguna gran causa

Y te niegas a hacerlo porque tienes miedo

Te niegas a hacerlo porque quieres vivir más

Tienes miedo de perder tu trabajo

O tienes miedo de que te critiquen

O que perderás tu popularidad

O tienes miedo de que alguien te apuñale o dispare o bombardee tu casa

Y entonces te niegas a subir al estrado

Bueno, puedes seguir y vivir hasta los 90

Pero estás tan muerto a los 38 como a los 90

Y la sensación de respirar en tu vida no es más que el anuncio tardío de una muerte anterior del espíritu

Moriste cuando te negaste a defender el derecho

Moriste cuando te negaste a defender la verdad

Moriste cuando te negaste a defender la justicia
