At sixty one, man took a walk, two hundred miles in twenty four days
the British Empire, 1930, had much to learn from this man's ways
after morning prayers on the 12 of March he and eighty set out for the shore
the 5th of April there were tens of thousands
to watch him scoop the salt that would be taxed no more
It's just me & you here
just me and you here
Alabama in '55, Rosa Parks refused to stand
she worked all day she would not give her bus seat up to a white man
she was arrested, Martin Luther King began the boycott then
eleven months later there was Martin and Rosa
the first to ride the bus again, first come first serve
just me & you here
just me & you here
they were courageous, fought with a dignity and love that Christ would bless
these people stood with unity, and bring to us a new consciousness
if suffering's to be endured, then we'll take it on ourselves and still
we are prepared to die for our ideals, but we refuse to kill for them cause
it's just me & you here
just me & you here
Avoid all violence in word and deed if peaceful progress is your creed
think in terms of transformation, never of retaliation
since every system is bound to teach it represents what's good and right
our duty is expose injustice, opponent may turn ally overnight
it's just me & you here
just me & you here
Goddess Victory is a small-minded bitch who steals from one to reward the other
and profits herself in grandeur and godhood, by turning brother against brother
she's best left to antiquity, cause all I see is you and me
and love can find a better way, cause life is not a game we play
it's a joy we share
