WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
UNTIL WE FINALLY SEE
EQUALITY CAN NEVER BE FOUND
BY DRAWING LINES ON THE GROUND
WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
WHILE IT’S YOU AGAINST ME
WHILE THEIR COLOR OR SIZE
MAKE THEM LESS IN YOUR EYES
WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
ANYWHERE IN THIS COUNTRY
WHILE WE SHARPEN OUR KNIVES
TO SLASH OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES
WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
UNTIL WE CAN LEARN TO SEE
IT IS EVIL WE SHOULD FIGHT
NOT RED, BROWN, BLACK OR WHITE.
WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
UNTIL WE LEARN THAT EQUALITY
SHOULD MAKE THIS A BETTER PLACE
NOT FILLED WITH HATE & DISGRACE
WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA
WHILE WE CONTINUE TO HATE
ANYONE FOR WHOM THEY DATE
WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
WHILE WE CHOOSE NOT BE
UNDERSTANDING & TENDER
REGARDING SOMONE’S GENDER
WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
WITHOUT OUR COMMUNITY
COMING TOGETHER IN LOVE
NOT WITH A BATTLE GLOVE
WHY CAN WE NOT SEE
THAT WE WILL NEVER BE FREE
UNTIL WE LEARN TO EMBRACE
ONE…SINGLE…HUMAN…RACE

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
