[Intro: Martin Luther King]
“Now we are in a new phase, and that is a phase where we are seeking genuine equality – where we are dealing with hard economic and social issues. And it means that the job is much more difficult. It’s much easier to integrate a lunch counter than it is to guarantee an annual income. […] I would not say that the Civil Rights Movement is dead. It’s simply that we’re moving to a new phase of the movement.”
[Verse 1: J Prophet & Dez Duron]
I knock on the door
He said there’ll be an answer
While I’m outside I’m standing here with my hands up
I hope you hear my heart, Lord
What you supposed to do if you start poor?
Social realities make it hard for
People to feel your heart for em
Feeling like prisoners curled up on a hard floor
With chains on, ‘round their ankles and arms sore
From the tightness of the ties
Let’s rise
Dez
I see everywhere I go
We all got our problems, problems
We all got our obstacles
I need you to save me now
Don’t think I can fly alone
I need some propellers, ‘pellers
I reach for the sky, O Lord
I need you to save me now
