Go out and tell the story

Let it echo far and wide

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

How that justice was our battle

And how justice was denied

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

And say to those who blame us

For the way we chose to fight

That sometimes there are battles

That are more than black or white

And I could not put down my sword

When justice was my right

Make them hear you

Go out and tell our story

To your daughters and your sons

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

And tell them our struggle

We were not the only ones

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

Your sword can be a sermen

Or the power of the pen

Teach every child to raise his voice

And then my brothers then

Will justice be demanded

By ten million righteous men

Make them hear you

When they hear you

I'll be near you again
