Dr. King's words are the heart of the song.

lyrics

IN THE SAME BOAT NOW

THIS COUNTRY IS A MELTING POT
I THINK SOME PEOPLE JUST FORGOT
EVERYBODY CAME FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE
KIN FOLKS SAILED FROM ACROSS THE SEA
TO BUILD A BETTER LIFE FOR YOU AND ME
EVERY FAMILY'S GOT A TALE TO TELL

ONCE THERE WAS A PREACHER MAN
CAME FROM DOWN IN ALABAM
ALWAYS KEPT HIS HAND UPON THE PLOW
THESE VERY WORDS CAME FROM HIS LIP
WE MAY HAVE ALL COME ON DIFFERENT SHIPS… BUT
WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT NOW
IN THE SAME BOAT NOW,
IN THE SAME BOAT NOW
WE MAY HAVE ALL COME ON DIFFERENT SHIPS
BUT WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT NOW

WHERE WOULD WE ALL BE TODAY
IF MARTIN HADN'T TURNED THE PAGE
WHEN SO MANY SAID THAT HE WAS WRONG
IF PEACE AND LOVE WAS THE WAY
WE LIVED THIS LIFE EVERY DAY
ALL GOD'S CHILDREN WOULD LEARN TO GET ALONG

THERE ONCE WAS A PREACHER MAN
CAME FROM DOWN IN ALABAM
ALWAYS KEPT HIS HAND UPON THE PLOW
THESE VERY WORDS CAME FROM HIS LIP
WE MAY HAVE ALL COME ON DIFFERENT SHIPS… BUT
WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT NOW
IN THE SAME BOAT NOW,
IN THE SAME BOAT NOW
WE MAY HAVE ALL COME ON DIFFERENT SHIPS
BUT WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT NOW
IN THE SAME BOAT NOW,
IN THE SAME BOAT NOW
WE MAY HAVE ALL COME ON DIFFERENT SHIPS
BUT WE'RE IN THE SAME BOAT NOW
