Freedom from years try
Through the fight there was an outcry
Being determined and not being scare to go on
It didn’t matter for how long
Together in the fight we were strong
One distinguished voice that echoed out
It’s Dr. Martin Luther King shout I am talking about
Throughout there was who says with a cannot
It seemed other powers had a plot
It was like a choking knot
But through it all we the people continued to march on
It was endure the hot sun, rain, cloudiness and anything else in between
The struggles simply added more steam
The Devils were quite mean
Eyes were looking at the skies
Freedom was going to be a big surprise
Tell me more young people would often ask
It was time that passed fast
The months within the struggles seemed to last
But Freedom was a mission determined to achieve
Our victory became our honor and dignity in pride received
However, history seems to be revolving once again
It’s not a how nor when situation
This is the time to be ready to speak out for the occasion
Expressions to mount and the exercise of rights ignited.
