lift up every voice
Learn more about other poetry terms
Wiped away tears from the hurt that was shed
Hide the mistakes that were made on wrists because they wanted to bleed beauty
As they were told they didn't make the cut
Lift up every voice and sing,
Till earth and heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of freedom
Let our rejoice rise
High as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
