I hear our children crying

I see our youth are dying

I observe law makers lying

I say to myself, keep trying

For a better world, I'll keep searching

For equality, I'll keep working

Sometimes the work can be so tiring

But without it, freedom we'll be denying

There has got to be an ending

We must stop all the pretending

So until the children of color stop crying

And the youth of my race cease world don't care dying

For a better world, I'll keep trying
