Without Race or Color of Skin

Lifting our banner high, we nourish the dreams that nothing can smother
Chasing freedom that keep fleeing, out of ignorance and lack of tolerance light must shine
No matter how long the struggle we still strive, breaking down barriers even behind bars
Now I realize the blessings that are deeded to us all,” freedom” it can’t be bought, stolen or sold
Many wars has been fought many lives have been lost, no score to be counted no measure to yield
Peace is valued in the land of the free; we must keep fighting to truly keep our children free
We must not let our dreams be shattered by the lull of despair
Our spirit cannot be penetrated in defense of darkness, tucked, torn or scorned
Think purpose, peace and promise and what it takes to get us there
Rally your soul on this sacred journey
Always anticipating happiness and the submission of excitement
Revolutionize relationships and keep telling your story
Our supernatural imagination will capture the vision
Clarity and judgment is not translucent when our day is gray
This language is not ordinary and can only be available to the happy and free
Power is a treasure to be released unborn

I like the hopeful message, we need more of that. Happiness sometimes has to be worked for, sadness, well all you have to do is wake up, there's no planning involved.applause teddybear
