Another wasted day with people off doing nothing, being unproductive, post office closed, banks closed, govt offices closed, kids with yet another day off, etc. I hate these jackass holidays. Hard to get anything done with the courts closed, post office losed, no mail delivery, no banking etc.

They could spend the day in school and each it about MLK without giving an excuse for these kids to play xbox, sleep late etc.

This track is originally from Deniece's album entitled Let's Hear It For the Boy but in 1996 it was released on her The Best of Deniece Williams CD. The song was originally recorded in 1984.

Enjoy!! Lyrics Below:
Morning light, silken dream to flight
As the darkness gave way to dawn
You've survived, now your moment has arrived
Now your dream has finally been born

Chorus:
Black Butterfly, sailed across the waters
tell your sons and daughters
what the struggle brings
Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire
rise up even higher
so the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

ooh...ooh

While you slept, the promise was unkept
But your faith was as sure as the stars
Now you're free, and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Chorus

Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring
Write the timeless message clear across the sky
So that all of can read it and remember when we need it
That a dream conceived in truth can never die
Butterfly

Cause now that you're free and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Chorus

Fly
Butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yes
Fly

How did you celebrate yesterday?

You know, I have no problem with there being an MLK day. No question how important he was/is......but can you guys imagine if he saw what was going on in society today? i think he would cringe at what all his time, effort, etc... "accomplished" for many.....
