Struggling To Reach The Mountaintop

We are still sweating and struggling To reach the mountaintop We are still marching and fighting To get to the mountaintop We are backstabbed all the time We're told audaciously that a dime Is worth or valued more than our lives Despite the deep pains and the long dives We're strong, resilient ready to rumble To mix it up, to tumble and not to fumble The ball at the end of the last quarter We will fall and we will get up stronger Smarter and more determined to reach The mountaintop, by walking on the beach To encourage the forgotten people to join in Because we will walk together and create a scene That the world has never seen. We will walk In unity. We will be forever united. We will talk And chat as siblings and we'll chant as we labor on and struggle To reach the mountaintop. This is only the onset. We'll huggle Juggle and snuggle. We will suffer to become harder and tougher We'll be stopped by nothing: the huffers, the bluffers and the weather The hypocrites, liars, cheaters, hillbilly criminals, mobsters, rioters Bad actors, tyrants, supremacists, goons, buffoons and invaders We shall reach the mountaintop before long, in due time With God on our side, we can't be stopped. A dream isn't a crime Hope is by our side. God gave us the strength, the vitality And the determination. We will get there surely and timely We know that it will not be easy to reach the mountaintop We'll make a few shortstops and we shall use our backstop At the last resort. We will get there soon, very soon We'll reach the mountaintop under the brightest moon.
