Drifting in and out of the corridors of the old Lorraine Motel
I saw myself standing on the balcony
Where Dr King drew his last breath
Looking in the distance
Searching for what hates us
For what fears our light so much
It resolves to extinguish us
Before we set it all on fire

I’m gonna keep on walking
Keep on talking
Marching onto freedom land…
