Everyone is Equal, but not at one Point


Everyone is equal, but not at one point Some people were undermined at the time They had the soul, they had the spirit They were called slaves, and they got through it Named for hard work and enslavement Things are different now Every person still has their own opinion Some people live in the time of hate Everyone is equal but not at one point They stated their opinion That got them their freedom Now millions are free And they do as they please Standing together as one Never letting anyone get them down You can’t choose what color you are But no one should ever be put down Everyone is equal, but not at one point Hearing their cries and tears One small voice is all it took Preach the freedom for all to hear Civil rights movement changed a lot You can become anything you want in your own town People are free now, life for them couldn’t be anymore different No one will ever have to be put down again
