Are we sitting on the sidelines?
Or are we fighting the good fight?
Will we help people raise their voices?
Whether they be Brown, Yellow, Black, or White.
Are we championing civil rights?
And doing more and more
As we once did in Mississippi
During the summer of 64?
Have we learned from Mississippi?
Now that hatred burns today -
Will we revive the dreams of Martin and Bobby?
Before their memories die or fade away
Are we stepping up and speaking out?
Or have we turned the other way?
Are we living truth or living lies?
As hatred burns anew today?
Are we standing firm for justice?
Are we doing all we can?
Raising funds and raising hopes
For the real ideals of our dear land?
We must learn from Mississippi!
Because hate, greed, and rage burn today
We must dream the dreams of Martin and Bobby
And never let them fade away.
We must ensure the struggle continues
And prove it is far from over yet?
We must fight for truth and freedom
And show the haters we will not forget!
We must learn from Mississippi,
Because hatred fiercely burns again today.
We must keep the work of Martin and Bobby
Alive, vibrant, and advancing every day.
If we loiter on the sidelines
We will live forever in regret.
For our country and its future,
We must prove we haven't and won't forget!
