EQUALITY..now being sold in the Troy University's Rosa Parks Museum Gift Shop..Montgomery,AL.
“EQUALITY”
So long, Oh how long
Our change has now come
The eyes of surprise
Cried out in demise
From the souls of civil lies
Lied a people disenfranchised
Yet, Still we Rise-EQUALITY
Ebony and Ivory soul ties
Civil Rights battlegrounds
Segregated lives were bound
To the ugliest war times
Hear the sounds?
David Duke, yes we still love you too
With a resounding love
Built on segregated roots
Still we all miss you, ROSA
My heart longs to hold your hands
May we all band together
We are now unified by plans
To make better… this land
“It’s your land, it’s Our Land”
Feel the heartbeat of every man
Every woman and child
Lift your voices out loud
Take a stand for what you believe
And by FAITH, you will receive
Always remember Martin’s DREAM
That has now been achieved
Because we never stopped believing
That we would all someday be EQUAL
Love, EQUALITY
