Child you're gonna be great
Poem
I can see it now
I can see you there
I know what you can do
I know what you possess
If knowledge you seek
If knowledge you gain
I can see Martin in you
Leading the way
I can see Abe in you
Thirsty for truth
I can see Sue in you
Fighting for others
I can see Harriet
Dreaming and leading
I can see Frederick
Speaking the truth
I can see Ida
Determine and not shaken
I can see Carver
Discovering what unites us
I can see Mary
Teaching to treat everybody right
I can see it now
I can believe in you
I know goodness runs deep in your veins
You don't listen to anybody but the keen and wise cause you learned truth and knowledge are better than other things
Ah I can see you now
You're gonna be great child
