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.
