Album "Children Running Through"

Una canzone dedicata a Martin Luther King e ispirata al suo celeberrimo ultimo discorso, "I've Been to the Mountaintop", pronunciato a Memphis il 3 aprile 1968, il giorno prima di essere assassinato.

La canzone è stata scritta dalla Griffin e proposta dal vivo fin dal 2005, ma è stata incisa per primo da Solomon Burke nel suo album "Nashville" del 2006, con la partecipazione della stessa Griffin.

E' il brano che chiude l'album "Third World Warrior" del 1990.
