If I Must Die Tomorrow...

If I must die tomorrow God, let it be for fighting against discrimination And injustice Let it be for the love of my people Let it be for the pride of my people Let it be for my contributions To Peace And to a good and just cause Because, because My blood is too precious to be shed For nonsense And indifference My tears are too valuable to be shed For callousness And divisiveness. If I must die tomorrow Ladies and Gentlemen Have no sorrow Because I am a very proud man. If I must die tomorrow Let it be for fighting for Freedom and Liberty Let it be for defeating ignorance and nonsense Let it be for injecting wisdom and intelligence Deep inside the brain of my people Let it be for voting first at the poll Let it be for cursing at Oppression Let it be for leading the blind in the right direction. Most of us have eyes that can't see Most of us have nose that can't smell Most of us have ears that cannot hear Neither the drums of Liberty nor the bells of Freedom. If I must die tomorrow God, let my last breath blends With the autumnal winds For the true pride of my ancestors. Most of us have eyes that can't see Most of us have nose that can't smell Most of us have ears that cannot hear Neither the drums of Liberty nor the bells of Freedom. If I must die tomorrow Ladies and Gentlemen Have no sorrow Because I die fighting like a proud man.
