I was just a little girl
Traveling with my pops
Thrown in jail for nothing
By some Southern racist cops
Reverend Martin told us
What needed to be done
And if he can preach it
We can sing it
Help to make the new day come
We took the walk to D.C
My heart in the church
I prayed, "Oh my child
Fix that anger and hurt."
It's been almost 50 years
How much longer will it last?
We need a change now more than ever
Why are we still treated so bad?
With my own eyes
Saw it with my own eyes
With my own eyes
So I know it's true
