I no longer walk in

Dialectic air my head is

Lifted and a regal shade

Of pride I wear.

 

If I choose to sit on the

Back of the bus one day

And up front the next

There is no longer the

Negative aspects or

Crazy looks.

 

Free At Last Free At Last

 

I have a choice of voting

To make my voice clear

Still the famous words of

Wisdom from Dr. King still

Ring peace and freedom

In my ear.

 

Free At Last Free At Last

 

I have hope of better days

My determination is paving

My way instead of making

Violent waves

 

I am no Longer looked at for

The color of my skin but for

The positive content that

Lies within.

 

Free At Last Free At Last

 

It’s not too hard to understand

Why history books did not grasp

My past and the quiet tales of

My ancestors long ago did not

Last, so the truth now be told

Because I am
