Progression
Guess I’m gonna find way
Through these streets of hate
There’s love in the air
Longing to be found
Too many times we find ourselves
On the brink of equality
Sit around alone at night
Pondering what freedom means
Progression not oppression
I think that’s where we should be now
A thousand years of sorrow
You think by now we’d understand
What it means to be human
What it means to be free
What it means to forgive
What it is to love
When we gonna realize
That a person is just that
Some one who’s alive & well
Just like you yourself
Too many times we find ourselves
On the brink of equality
Sit around alone at night
Pondering what freedom means
Progression not oppression
I think that’s where we should be now
A thousand years of sorrow
You think by now we’d understand
