Must we build a new school and temple?
Must we break the ground and the walls?
Who let demons inside the gates?
No choice but to watch an empire fall
I love wisdom more than wealth
Is there a Master qualified to teach?
Racist hatred and mis-education-
Left God beyond my reach
The power of faith can raise the dead
If through patience I choose to receive-
A name on my heart- written by my Creator
I'm not the first or last to believe
If I was fire- I'd be the Sun
If I was light- I'd come from the East
And in the end- when all is said and done-
They'll know that I worked for peace
If I was a flower- I'd be a rose
If I was a bird- I'd be a dove
And in the end- when all is said and done-
They'll know that I worked for love
