Theme For The March On Washington Lyrics

Shawn Phillips Theme For The March On Washington

From the lowest prairie to the highest sea
We were put on this earth created equal and free

Chorus:
We were put on this earth to help all mankind
But there seem to be people that don't pay any mind
Why can't they let us be

We've seen all these people, we've heard all their lies
But when we stand up, we'll see the fear in their eyes
For this world's not worth the ground that we stand on
Unless we can look our brother in the face
And say to him that we are the same and evermore shall be

We'll search for the heavens, we'll hunt all their lies
But the one that gets there first
He will claim it as its prize
For this world's not worth the ground that we stand on
Unless we can look our brother in the face
And say to him that we are the same and evermore shall be
