A Change Is Coming

This title, A Change Is Comin
Is being commenmerated by a little known artist, to which this tune is still hummin
Amongst the stars, Last year's generation, which has been passed on
To our Generation X, as we shout "Freedom and Justice" to capital hill amassed

Been kicked around, raped and pillaged since pre slavery
For over a millenia, some stood up in bravery
"Let Freedom Ring!" has became our battle cry
The saga continues, as our predecessors continue to wage war and die

Valiantly, with the oppressor's foot on our neck
"I can't breath!" for almost nine minutes, made others hit the deck
God's Word does say, "There's nothing new under the sun",
A grim reminder, that something had to be done

Hailing from Selma, all the way to LA
Strong people testified, hurting from the fray
"Freedom and Justice", a shout silently increasing in volume
To where it's heard globally, spoken silently from the scars on call whom

Is willing to listen, to not turn a deaf ear
And take action, for love bears no fear
"Let Freedom Ring" our battle cry from coast to coast
Slowly but surely, lights shone from every court post

Justice is being served in a dish so cold
That revenge isn't even mentioned, be it ever so bold
Let our music rise and inspire, as those old guitars keep on strummin
"Let my people go", because A Change Is Comin!!
