Congressmen John Lewis, remembrance from his soul
The torch shines
A reflection of Congressmen John Lewis walks in the spirit
My Brothers and my Sisters
He achieved for all minority races
It wasn’t about being Black, White, Green nor purple
It was the standard of Freedom for all
His stance was on the fight to make Freedom and Voting right
Beaten and tore full of scars
But that didn’t stop Congressmen John Lewis for being determined to go far
His journey carried him across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama
While others wondered and showed fear
He knew God was always near
He would say today, “Don’t praise me, but stand with me”
Mobilize and visualize seeing the prize
Your surprise will become a realize
A page from Former President Barack Obama, “Yes we can and Shall”
The shall being assurance
Congressmen John Lewis influence
Continued efforts in endurance
Stand up for the fight
God has given you the might
Be inspired my Brothers and Sisters
Victory sounds like a long way
But that is ok
The mission is too come together as a multitude of voices
You got the agenda, and it is the blueprint to succeed
But let your movement in forward proceed
We will chant these very words, “Achieved at Last Achieved at Last
It will be a long time coming
But we must be consistence and not be resistant
We can achieve together
Stand Up and be associated
Victory will be our story
Our efforts will form appreciated
Once again, be encouraged my Brothers and Sisters
Fight until won
Never surrender and be outdone
It’s a new day, tomorrow even better
Fight, be precise and let your voice rang out
Be ready, steady and assemble
It is just that simple
Achieve, Accomplish and Excel
Victory will come, but just wait until.
