I Am the Future

I am the future of this noble land I look out for you to seek my hand Although I am young I have ambitions and strengths For I am the future you must understand I acknowledge my predecessors, the heroes and souls Who lost their lives in this struggle to uphold? The many brave men and women who vied with racism And followed their heart and altered all perception Equality reigns supreme, no matter your hue Past sins forgiven, success long overdue I look to the sun and see it wink back Confident am I that I am on the right track Solitary winds envelop and succumb Looking at my lands beauty I grow numb I strive for success, happiness and fame For I am the future, the youth by name
