[Intro]

They upon a mission

This generation

We all have our own race to run

But run we must

Forward ever backwards never

[Chorus]

Each generation must have

Their own revolution you can't

Create one for me and I can't

Create one for you and

We gotta move onward at the pace of love

Let truth be your fighters, let peace be your guns

We gotta move onward at the pace of love

Let truth be your fighters, let peace be your guns

We all have our own race to run

[Verse 1]

Fight the powers that be then start a movement

Change will never come free but you can do it

With every single change comes some improvement

What first seems strange soon becomes coolness

Innocent as doves but don't forget the shrewdness

Don't forget the marches the riots and all the students

Occupy wall street the huge CONY movement

A black president, what's next?

A woman too, coming through, hey

[Chorus]

Each generation must have

Their own revolution you can't

Create one for me and I can't

Create one for you and

We gotta move onward at the pace of love

Let truth be your fighters, let peace be your guns

We all have our own race to run

[Verse 2]

We steamed gun reform cuz of the children

The world chose prayer it over powered the villains

The love that was shared it over powered the violence

Voice of the people it over powered the silence

The bush master cannot kill our passion

The killer is dead but the kids are everlasting

The past generations provided the opportunity

But this generation is fighting for race unity

One day

[Chorus]

Each generation must have

Their own revolution you can't

Create one for me and I can't

Create one for you and

We gotta move onward at the pace of love

Let truth be your fighters, let peace be your guns

We gotta move onward at the pace of love

Let truth be your fighters, let peace be your guns

We all have our own race to run

[Outro]

Ooooo ooooh ooooo ooooh
