Public service anouncement
The time has come
Change is near
Today we leave behind
Nights of terror and fear
Brung to this place
With shackles and screams
We've come a long way
I must say
Sitting in the back of the bus
This we do no more
Dr. King would have loved to see
What was in store
Heads were kept high
Spirits were not crushed
Lives would be changed
History would be made
We didn't use violence
All we did was prayed
Years went on and we have evolved
My look at the problems
We have solved
From pain to passion
We are here
What once was a dirty window
Now is clear
Racism and segregation was once a big deal
No more black and white sections
Unity is real
