Civil Rights Movement

I am often asked why i do it, why I sit in everyday, when those cops throw us away why i sit in jail, when no one ever posts bail How can I be free, when I am down on one knee How i'm not white, but yet know what is right But i i say how i often wonder, is this a lost cause Then i remember, i am only one member Together we will succeed, yes in deed We do not fight, we only stand up for whats right With God on our side, all must abide I dream of a day of true freedom, one where color does not matter I dream of a day where a man is judged on character and actions I dream of a day in which all men are free. This is why i'm here.
