The Long Road Ahead


Love is love, It’s black and white. People are people, And these people don’t fight. But there’s a long road ahead. They’re holding hands, And dreaming dreams, And walking away, Leaving empty seats, With such a long road ahead. In hindsight now, We laugh, and think, How could we be So ignorant? But there's a long road ahead. We’ve come so far, From Birmingham And Dred Scott, And Ferguson, But there’s a long road ahead. So, here’s to King, And Lincoln too, Who made Our Declaration true, For the long road ahead. A heart is a heart, And a life, a life. And the world has finally begun, To see the light. But there’s still a long road ahead.
