Black Power Salute

1968, USA, a million black models having their day.
Mexico city, blood red sky, polite stain here, fists held high.

(Pre-)
Some for justice, rectify.
With snipping columns struck their pride.

Took a black power salute,
Took a black power salute,
Took a black power salute,
Take a free to define the truth.

Political protests of a higher time,
For simple rights better be in deny.
Our lives in wait, our end directed,
A revolution, our distant nights.

(Pre-)
Some for justice, rectify.
With snipping columns struck their pride.

Took a black power salute,
Took a black power salute,
Took a black power salute,
Take a free to define the truth.

Took a black power salute,
Took a black power salute,
Took a black power salute,
Take a free to define the truth.
