Somebody tell me

Somebody tell me

Somebody tell me can we be happy now
Can we rejoice today
Can we relax tomorrow
Can we smile right now

Somebody tell me what have we over came
What we have achieved
What we have changed
What we have we now to be proud of

Somebody tell me do we need more leaders
Do we need to be lead
Do we need to wait for a hero
Or do we need to just stand up and be strong on our own

Somebody tell me why should I back down
Tell me why my views are wrong
Explain to me why there’s no need for my words

Somebody tell me and show me proof of equality
Advancement and progress that we ALL can share
And I’ll gracefully assimilate and be happily quiet
Convince me that all is great food and glorious
Of course than I’ll be calm

But until somebody tells me everything is ok
I won’t stop fighting for you and me

He said "There is no need to be afraid of what is to come”

“The human body is the universe in miniature. That which cannot be found in the body is not to be found in the universe. Hence the philosopher’s formula that the universe within reflects the universe without. It follows, therefore, that if our knowledge of our body own could be perfect, we would know the universe.” –Mahatma Gandhi
