Looking forward to face the kid from the ghetto an hour away
Looking back at your legacy as I get on the red subway
Equal rights for a joy that is just
A joy where laughter and love is a must
You fought for and fell for this God that is good
Learning to live the mass-misunderstood
Loving your enemy in the light of him
Where hate had grown cold in the darker dim
And from that incapability you spoke out against war
While speaking of something else truly worth dying for
That something you gave and got a lot in return
As people peacefully carried that yearn
To do unto others what you want others to do to you
And to face the faces of that other too
To love where love's been lingering in the shadow
And to hold on to people the society's let go off
May we laugh and love and live as we trust this
That we too from our incapability may speak out against injustice
