I Am a Rider
To get here to there
WE had to go through hell
Not because the content of OUR character
But the color of OUR skin
Look at what situation WE are in
May 4, Washington DC
I think its time for them to see
That WE only want to be free
Met by Hatred and causes of pain
Only if they could see,
How inhumane
May 14,
A burst of flame
To only show the pain
Of those who show no shame
WE only want to ride
WE want to ride free
Ride as we please
Because WE are
FREEDOM RIDERS
