Fighting for a Dream |
| Poetry Angels |
I. They found each other Such a long time ago They loved each other And they never let go And maybe they are soul mates Drifting in the sky Maybe they are soul mates Too in love to die She holds her Tells her she cares And she kisses her cheek As she strokes her hair She holds her Tells her what she lacks And she kisses her nose As she strokes her back Soul mates they may have been But society said they were wrong Soul mates they may have been But the road they trod was long II. They found each other Such a long time ago They loved each other And they never let go And maybe they are soul mates Drifting in the sky Maybe they are soul mates Too in love to die He held his hand Too afraid to speak He looked at the man Whom his heart did keep He kissed his eyes As the tears began to fall He made truth out of lies As they slid down the wall Soul mates they may have been But society said they were wrong Soul mates they may have been But the path they trod was long III. They found each other Such a long time ago They loved each other And they never let go They had a dream A dream of freedom A dream of a world without hate A dream of love They fought for their dream And others joined in They worked hard for their dream And they knew they would win They marched for their dream They rallied, they spoke But there was society's dream Which their dream did choke Heroes they may have been But society said they were wrong Heroes they may have been But the road they trod was long IV. They found each other Such a long time ago They loved each other And they never let go She gave up And left her love behind She put her dream away And then she crossed that line She watched her leave With a tear in her eye She watched her leave And she felt her heart die Heroes they may have been But society said they were wrong Heroes they may have been But the road they trod was long V. They found each other Such a long time ago They loved each other And they never let go He grew weary And could take no more He turned around And they were no more He watched him walk away Tears running down his face He watched him walk away And his heart lost its place Heroes they may have been But society said they wre wrong Heroes they may have been But the path they trod was long VI. The found each other Such a long time ago They loved each other And they never let go They kept on fighting Though their hearts were gone They kept on fighting And soon became one Two broken hearts Merged to make one Two broken dreams Soon became one Heroes they were Still society said they were wrong Heroes they were Yet the road ahead was still long VII. We found each other Such a long time ago We loved each other And we never let go We clung to a dream For equal rights We make the seam For equal rights We fight a dream Society holds We call on a dream With all our souls We may be heroes We may be lovers We may be normal people And that is just what we see Normal people all around We are the people The united people United within a dream United we fight |
