It's only right

Civil rights, an act to be free An act to for once be treated as equals To no longer judge by the color you see Once not allowed to receive and education or a seat at church If caught rebelling was sure to be hurt In a restaurant you would be lucky to get served For some reason this was thought to be deserved No sharing restrooms, theaters or water fountains The road to freedom seemed to be a mountain Along came the 1800s , things seemed to change Under circumstances blacks had opportunities and were started to be treated the same Slowly but surely we all have the same rights Although it certainly took a determined fight Now we are free to live life with all our might It is only right
