Together as one


Together as one we stand The smell of equality is so sweet Together as one we stand Our thirst for freedom cannot be beat Civil Right leaders have paved the way So that you and I could be free Even our ancestors had a lot to say Not for you, not for me, but for we Together as one we stand All humans together as one We fought hard to share this land But our job here is not yet done From Ida B. Wells to Martin Luther King And from Rosa Parks to Malcolm X These people fought for more than just a thing They fought for equal rights; something too complex The Underground Railroad Was lead by a woman Something you must encode Thank you, Ms. Tubman Together as one we stand Let's keep the equality here forever Together as one we are grand Peace forever; segregation never Together as one we stand The smell of equality is so sweet Together as one we stand Our thirst for freedom cannot be beat
