New Rights
Jacquenline Szewczyk
Keep pushing towards new rights
Unjust rules you must not abide
There will be equality of black and white
The Missouri Compromise brought to light
Helped bring an end to slavery being justified
Keep pushing towards new rights
Escaping through tunnels during the night
Harriet Tubman as your guide
There will be equality of black and white
A vote signed with your name you will write
Voice your opinion, show your side
Keep pushing towards new rights
Whether it be in front or back- a seat in sight,
Sit where you please, you cannot be pushed aside
There will be equality of black and white
The light of the future is bright
For those in fear of prejudice will no longer need to hide
Keep pushing towards new rights
There will be equality of black and white
