The Long Road Ahead


See the expanse of the earth Spread before you The long road ahead How long will it take to get there? Nobody knows yet End slavery And the world sings a song Give women and blacks the right to vote The butterflies flit and dance The long road ahead How long will it take? Nobody knows yet Equalize same sex love The sun has come out again Give gender equality to women Because we are powerful The long road ahead How long will it take? Nobody knows yet But The earth moves under our feet Because we are Walking Walking Toward Equality
