Indebted
To you we owe
Our freedom
Gratitude
And praise
Small steps
Defiant stance
Made so we
Could belong
To you we owe
Our opportunities
Our voices
Our legacy
Persecuted for petty crimes
Inaudible cries
Noosed up
Whooped, sold off
You held on
Carried strong
So we could be born
And we can demand
Heads down
Muffled voices
Humbled spirits
Still rejoices
To you we owe
Small victories
And every
Single break
Today, we stand on
Your shoulders
We have a
Lot at stake.
One word. EXCELLENT !
