Who will be next to sit in that chair
Will you even see that they are there
Maybe one day I will sit that chair
The audience will see me sitting there
We will talk of important things
The spark of life and the hope of dreams
The burden we carry and what it all means
We are more than the colors put on display
For equity and freedom there has been a high price to pay
Pride in who we are has helped many pave the way
You have arrived that much is clear
The legacy you leave has lifted some out of fear
Given a voice to some to say we are here
Like the sweet notes of a songs refrain
Ellen oh Ellen we thank you again and again
