I've walked many places Many journeys unspoken of Inner cities of my mind Underground railroad The streets of Salem Marching for the word A whisper in a city's dream I looked to see the faces A look of determination As their stomach starts caving in Ribs poking out Mountains of disire Watching... As the white man gobbles food Grinning for another day American flag flying high Confederate sitting beside Laughing at fallen man Monsters of the cotton field Fear nesting in remains Bullets holes holding on A home for sin I am hungry and tired Melting from the pits of hell Or the ground of more to come I'm sick Needing treatment Needing king To help me march And the true god to help me sing And we watch Oh we watch for hope to rain Needing freedom on our plate Believe me We all are starved

We all are starved
I've walked many places Many journeys unspoken of Inner cities of my mind Underground railroad The streets of Salem Marching for the word A whisper in a city's dream I looked to see the faces A look of determination As their stomach starts caving in Ribs poking out Mountains of disire Watching... As the white man gobbles food Grinning for another day American flag flying high Confederate sitting beside Laughing at fallen man Monsters of the cotton field Fear nesting in remains Bullets holes holding on A home for sin I am hungry and tired Melting from the pits of hell Or the ground of more to come I'm sick Needing treatment Needing king To help me march And the true god to help me sing And we watch Oh we watch for hope to rain Needing freedom on our plate Believe me We all are starved
