When the eyes revolt
To the sight of injustice.
Stand aright.
Walk upright.
In honour of those
Who have gone ahead.
For it will be alright.
When the heart throbs
To the rhythm of the pain.
Don’t be affright.
As you blight
Away the fright
For those behind.
For it will be alright.
When the well of tears run dry
In protest against inhumanity.
The floodlight of righteousness
Shines on your path.
As it will be alright.
