MLK

I grew up with an interest in Martin Luther King Jr, all because U2 wrote songs about him. Today I learned that his wife, Coretta Scott King passed away at 78.

Once again, I find U2 lyrics changing meaning. MLK, originally written for Dr. King, which has become a night-time lullabye for me since Tyler's birth, is now relevant for this moment. For Coretta Scott King:

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized

If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it be

Mmmm, mmmm so let it be

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized

If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain on here
