• Selma 50th anniversary

There are moments destiny have been decided
And one aftenoon fifty years ago
So many marched across this bridge
The dream of the preacher met Jim Crow
Ordinary americans willing to endure
Billy clubs, tear gas
Because of Selma, Alabama
And those who marched, though
The Voting Rights Act was passed

(Chorus)
Because the single most powerful word in our democracy
Is the word - WE
We the people (x2)
What a glorious task we are given
We honor those who walk, so we could run
We must run, so our children soar
We the people, the people,the people..
We shall overcome

Our Union is not yet perfect
But we are getting closer
When it feels the road's too hard
And the torch we've been passed feels too heavy
We will remember these early travels
Draw strength from their example
And hold firmly to the words of the Prophet Isaiah
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength"

(Chorus)
