REBEL, REBEL
rebel against a system
that teaches one to always hate
rebel against a people
who build walls to separate
for all who do not share
or are blinded by the glare
of a guiding light
that only sees self
for only its self sake
rebel, rebel
spin the wheel
contrary to the wind
they blow...
stand firm to let them know
they are the ones to blame
while they castigate each other
to bring each other down to shame
is it black or white
or rich or poor?
none and all
rebel, rebel
against your sisters
and your brothers and your sons
let them know you well..
that you believe in love....
stand up in your rightness
to let them know
it is they who live in fear
as they turn their nose upright
while they mock and while they jeer
let the walls they build around them
fall down with their despair
from a lack of knowledge
of not knowing how to be free
there is a price to freedom
seeing each other equally
so cut their chains and shackles
as they try to bind your feet
let them know
let them know
you are free...
