     summary: 'tis to glory we steer, To add something more to this wonderful year: To honour we call you, not press you like slaves: For who are so free as the sons of the waves? Hearts of oak are our ships, Gallant tars are our men; We always are ready: Steady, boys, steady! Hearts of oak, etc. Britannia triumphant, her ships sweep the sea; Her standard is Justice-- her watchword, Be free!

     summary: She called you boy instead of your name When she wouldn't let you inside When she turned and said But honey, he's not our kind She says I can't see you any more, baby Can't see you any more Walk me down to school, baby Everybody's acting deaf and blind Until they turn and say Why don't you stick to your own kind My teachers all laugh, their smirking stares Cutting deep down in our affairs Preachers of equality Think they believe it Then why won't they just let us be? They say I can't see you any more, baby Can't see you any more One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening Gonna raise my head up high One of these days I'm gonna raise up My glistening wings and fly
