A Time For Others But Not Me

I run and hide from
people, people
that I can't change.

I need somebody else
who can lead. Who can lead
this fight for equality?

I heard in D.C
there is rebel. There is a rebel
who can change the world?

His name
I do not know. I do not know
but I feel.

I am a person in
a world. A world
of many like me.

One day our people will be treated
well. Well
enough to have equality and brotherhood!

Today's sacrifice is for
tomorrow, tomorrow
will be a better day!
