Our children from a distance see
We only say that we are free
If we were pharaohs, queens and kings
what good was it to be those things
if we are not united here
and walk in self-hate, terror, fear,
when those that came before us fought
and those who learned were those who taught
and passed on knowledge, trade and thought
that cost the flesh the whip had wrought?
I think if we are truly free
We can’t keep blaming slavery
For our condition in this land
It’s time to take another stand
For Martin’s gone, and Malcolm too
It’s up to us now what to do
Together it takes you and me
To change the things our children see
Beyond Panic
