Oh take good words Oh hear me now For my voice I lift in blessings of pure delight, And the spirits of good fellowship is the call for joy tonight, For not a child born of woman from this day forth Will ever know of limitations, For the views of few can not undo What happened on this occasion, Let us not as we have look for past injustice to waver in tone, For in truth I do say to you you can’t undo what’s set in stone, For such as the greatest of the potter’s wheel without the fire could never be, The synonym applies without once being slaves our victory would be incomplete, Never the less let us not permit that we rejoice in the former way one man treated another, For it be not designed by the divine that the son of man be better than his bother, For all are equally shortened from his glory and by his hands it was undone, For it was in his will when he spoke the words “In the beginning” that we shall over come, And though this be not our final battle a mere speck of the final victory, We celebrate this mild stone of a long coming that many fought to see, For by many’s blood, sweat, and tears did this come to be, So for ever more we will cherish this day as the day the world was free
