May 1961, the revolution began.
The search for freedom,
The search for equality,
The search for independence.

it sho would be nice ta live ina big house
with ma own fields a cotton an a handsome young spouse

Here I am, once again
Chains that shackle my feet
To an ideal,
To a model,

Here I am, once again
Chains that shackle my feet
To an ideal,
To a model,

I tack a portrait of you to the classroom wall
--You--
Gorgeously lit in the the frame of a window
11 years 4 days ago
We wait for equal rights to all,
That day could never be too late.
We always rise before we fall,
11 years 4 days ago
Empty, you filled me up with Faith
Lonely, those days are now erased
Sad, a smile daily on my face
11 years 4 days ago
I hear the slinging of whips across the field,
Then the ring of the freedom bell with power to heal,
11 years 4 days ago
My flag says I am free.
Free from prejudice based on my color.
Free from others believing I cannot learn.
