Blues had the pulse beat of the people who keep on going.
There is no color line in death. I swear to the lord I still can't see Why Democracy means Everybody but me. O, yes, I say it plain, America never was America to me, And yet I swear this oath - America will be! I am the American heartbreak- The rock on which Freedom Stumped its toe.
When a man starts out to build a world, He starts first with himself
I wish the rent Was heaven sent.
Frosting Freedom Is just frosting On somebody else's Cake-- And so must be Till we Learn how to Bake.
