One Million and One March


To see how many showed To see how many smiled To see the many People Stretch out a million mile To see how happy To see now kind To see the push for peace of mind To stand for truth To stand for justice To stand for just one spoken promise To have a dream Not cause a scene And walk until we have achieved No one man’s wish But one man’s dream Has brought us here With many screams We walked along We followed stars We got kicked out And locked in bars We never quit We never ran We never shift We always stand We know what’s right We know what’s wrong We only wish to get along And so we gathered In one great place To show the world That we have faith No matter what We stand to fight We risked the loss For what was right And so you see We won our war The lives we live Are so much more Than what was wished On that October day 1995 seems so far away And though that day Was filled with much We will never forget One Million and One March -- LaNeaya Mitchell
