I’ll end up like you
lost among the years
drowned in a pool of tears
and gagged by silent fears
How such accomplishments
could go overlooked
is a testament to the density of human will
to hide the healing truth
to bury the real fountain of youth
men desperate enough to kill
If you expect me to be stopped
by a glass ceiling
you’re expecting us
to have the strength of a fly
and while we may die
you’re going to hear what we have to say
because our works lay the path
for millions to follow
Children can grow up empowered
and dream of a better tomorrow
The greatest warriors
are the neighbors next door
and the desire to keep your mind free
is the holiest war
Silence one, and another hatches
from the egg of celestial intelligence
Born to spread truth
in the mire of malevolence
What we do may not receive credit
or win a Grammy award
but we do not work for accolades
instead, for the number of souls boarded
on the train of rebellion
as our country plunges into the darkest of days
We carry no sword
and we possess no shield
But through strength and courage
many followers we yield
Through centuries we pass
through valley, through sea
to bring all together
in eternity
