And the chains-
of the past hold us
prejudice seeping through- everything
So few of us willing to Speak Up
-but- needing to rewrite the future
refusing to relive history.
Can't undo what's been done:
it's time though for True equal-opportunity
The inside is what counts
Show what this country's made of
Freedom- Liberty.
Sit where you want
hold hands in harmony.
This nation is United
Diverse in Equality.
We've come so far-
taking great strides
in over coming the monsters-
of white supremacist pride.
This fight for peace and love
is one we all must fight.
Never settling down:
Demanding our Civil Rights.
