The Battle -

THE BATTLE’S ALMOST OVER

BUT THE WAR HAS JUST BEGUN

THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE ARISES

WITH THE SETTING SUN

WE WILL MARCH INTO THE FIELD

WE WILL MARCH VICTORIOUS

'CAUSE THE STING OF THE FIGHT

HERE IS NOTHING NEW TO US

Way back — back when I was young

Growing up taught not to jump the gun

About a man’s colour or creed

Six years down and now I finally see

It’s a war with the words we write

We’ll stand together black and white

One goal in mind is all we have

Side by side — hand in hand

So send the warning red alert

'Cause our battles just begun

Out there on the airwaves

Prejudice gone and dug itself a grave

Words are ammunition

Poetry like bullets from a gun

Until every women and every man

Are side by side — hand in hand

THe time is gonna come to stand up for yourself

It’s a dawn of a new age now

The battle’s almost over — the war has just begun

It won’t be over until we’re all side by side
