Holiday by Roy Ayers Lyrics

[Intro]
(We've got to have a holiday, holiday)

[Verse]
He talked about love
(Holiday)
About unification
Talked about love (Holiday) and dedication
(We got to have a holiday)
We wanted to see peace (Holiday) across the nation
Call for an end (Holiday) to world starvation
(We got to have a holiday) Fill their hearts (Holiday)
Inspiration
(Holiday)
(We got to have a holiday) Use the world (Holiday) as his foundation
We need (Any way) a proclamation
(We got to have a holiday, any way)
Some sign of our affection
We (Holiday) got to have a holiday
(We got to have a holiday)
Martin Luther King (Holiday)
(Stevie says)
We need a holiday
(I won't give up the holiday, Stevie says)
He called for (Whatcha say?)
Preservation
(You know we need a holiday) Of our world (Whatcha say?) relations
He asked that we (Holiday) strengthen race relations
(We got to have a holiday) [?] hunger (Holiday) was his major theme
He asked that peace (Holiday) should be our thing
(We got to have a holiday, holiday)
We got to have a holiday
Get up (Holiday)
Get up
(We got to have a holiday, holiday)
Like Stevie said (Holiday)
We got to have a holiday
(We got to have a holiday, holiday) For Martin Luther King
He spoke of love and unification
Talked about love and dedication
Peace all across the nation
Atlanta (Holiday) world foundation
(We got to have a holiday)
Fill the hopes (Holiday)
With inspiration
