Democracy will not come br Today, this year br Nor ever br Through compromise and fear. br br I have as much right br As the other fellow has br To stand br On my two feet br And own the land. br br I tire so of hearing people say, br Let things take their course. br Tomorrow is another day. br I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. br I cannot live on tomorrow's bread. br br Freedom br Is a strong seed br Planted br In a great need. br br I live here, too. br I want freedom br Just as you.
