Definition


We are defined By the simple mind The mind of those That only choose to see color Discrimination against each other White and Black Black or White Words so sweet But we make so mean Martin said he had a dream A very simple dream A dream that we would Look past what's on the exterior Focus more on the interior That we would never feel inferior To people who thinks themselves superior That we would not be moved Be broken or be bruised That "separate but equal" Would never have a sequel That we would be strong in our minds Our hearts and in our faith That we would not shake No matter how big the earthquake That these trials and mistakes Would create A better us A strong us As strong as Rosa Parks When she sat on that bus She light a flame We all joined the campaign We all want to be treated the same
