Our Peacemaking Leaders

Bloodshed, yelling and screaming in a world in which I took my stance All I got was an undesirable glance I didn't apologize for the need for equality So I proceeded in my seat in a world shaken without harmony 1955... the year I was locked away A memory today that is worthwhile to stay And I had a dream that someday colors would blend Somewhat like the spectrum of a rainbow seen as a symbol of peace and heaven So I improved the world shaken without harmony Perhaps it was my boycott that made the woman suffer in prison's misery But I honestly attempted to improve history Campaigns, books, my famous speech was my trust of seeing the world as half-glass full I believed in a world in which the roots of equality just needed a pull And after things got better I decided to stop letting those tears shed Of women dominated by unfairness and other men And so I stood up and got those rights Discrimination is a worthwhile fight I lived in a world shaken without harmony In which I express every viewpoint, every story representing inequality I was once a rotten fruit among the ones that believed they were ripe Unneeded...while others would for what reason gripe? What did we do except be born another color? God wouldn't create us to be hated by others But I thank him and them that the world today is in unity Since they improved the world and set it with harmony.
