L-O-V-E, long as the Mississippi
Flowing in constant motion the movement potent within me
It chose me, I was a lover, sometimes a fighter
Mama taught me to fight with my words, became a writer
Fell in love once before, haven't fell in love with a rider
Need me a freedom rider, we rolling out like a tire
From the south, we retire yo hatred, speak for the choir
Keeping some love inside me, it may be dark but I'm lighter
Light a fire or something, my spirit burning for war
Spiritual but this country think physical worth more?
Love is feeding the poor & opening prison doors
Especially if they got us for nothing, let's go to court
Bleed us in Bloody Sundays, persistent like John Lewis
Go to jail freeing minds, it's a movement, peace how we do this
I wrap my head with the facts, truthfully love can change you
Everybody know God but have you been touched by angels
I get it from my Momma, had her feet to the ground in Albany
Her & Dad passed down the fight, it's all in me
Walk with me, it was '59, revolution come
How's the battle to be won marching or the...
We fallin' back or we pushin' back, gettin' hit or we hittin' back
With no answer for that, they said dig it
All I know is Jim Crow got to go
So they stood and fought it
But Non-violent and direct like Jim Lawson taught it
See John Lewis bought it, took it up and ran with it
Sit-ins at the counters where they serving drinks and hands with it
Just the way they planned it
Let the camera catch the way you're treated
Meet the violence with peace and let the world see it
We love ourselves, love living, love protecting our children
Love enjoying what our hands are responsible for building
We got peace in the midst of war, courage in place of fear
This is our father's house and love abides right here
