We’ve been through many storms before
Flooding lands bespattered shores
This tempest not to be ignored
The message stands Everyone on board
Cries of indignity no longer stilled
The earth must once again be tilled
Many marches have brought no peace
Deadly weapons no longer cease
Many dead still more to come
Justice reigns just for some
Yet true hope is not far away
We vote to live for another day
We plant seeds that need grow
For the old roots we already know
It’s as plain as day and night
Some call it simple equal rights
If we rise up banded as one
This living crop can soon be won
The clouds will again slowly lift
The raging tempest finally shift
A rainbow appearing plain to see
An unbiased destiny for you and me.
