And the Dream Continues


And the critics will deride and scorn, But we will march on, Heading towards the freedom that will be born The skies will open up and our eyes will come upon A place of equality, where our dreams have turned into reality And on that day we will turn to our critics, with the upmost congeniality shake their hands, and smile to ourselves. For you cannot stop a river from flowing into the sea, you cant stop the cold from making you shiver There are things their power cannot control Determination is one of them and our dreams are another While they can beat our bodies, they cannot touch the soul Everything will be okay, so long as we dream together. Our Riders will continue to ride, whether or not our contenders are pleased Our people will eat where they choose, no white man shall be appeased Mankind will not be divided by color or race Rather, let one’s morals decide his place. No one shall be limited to an unsanitary bathroom Or be separated by a water fountain. Do not believe in the ways they spread their oppressing doom, For fear never helped anyone climb a mountain. And the critics will deride and scorn, Let them go, for nothing will stop boundaries from being torn For they do not know what these dreams are capable of, Because we believe and follow the power from above.
