EQUALITY
You declare you see me dimly
through a glass which will not shine,
though I stand before you boldly,
trim in rank and making time. |
|
You do own to hear me faintly
as a whisper out of range,
while my drums beat out the message
and the rhythms never change. |
|
Equality, and I will be free.
Equality, and I will be free. |
|
You announce my ways are wanton,
that I fly from man to man,
but if I'm just a shadow to you,
could you ever understand? |
|
We have lived a painful history,
we know the shameful past,
but I keep on marching forward,
and you keep on coming last. |
|
Equality, and I will be free.
Equality, and I will be free. |
|
Take the blinders from your vision,
take the padding from your ears,
and confess you've heard me crying,
and admit you've seen my tears. |
|
Hear the tempo so compelling,
hear the blood throb through my veins.
Yes, my drums are beating nightly,
and the rhythms never change. |
|
Equality, and I will be free.
Equality, and I will be free. |
