Down the Avenue
Down the Avenue
You won’t believe, what’s down the street, until you see
Put shoes on your feet, listen for the beat, then follow me
Our struttin’ grooves and swanky moves; that’s what we do
Now join the crew, we’re heading to the Avenue…
When we arrive, open your eyes, and observe
Crowds in the street, rainbow complete, a winding curve
Honor and pride, stand side by side, holding proud signs
We join the fight, march for what’s right, as justice shines
East to west, humankind’s best, stake out the Avenue
Marching and chanting, riots and ranting in view
Magical news caught bird’s eye views of Avenues
Mixtures of races found common places, and grew…
Injustice was fought, equality sought
Though this march is far from through
Together we can, remain hand in hand
And make magic down each Avenue...
