John Lewis, living legend
John Lewis, his fate was destined
From Detroit to Montgomery
The state of the country was extremely ugly
Bloody, bad, violent, sad
But the young people of SNCC (Snic)
weren't going to stand for it
They marched in the streets
often jailed and beat
To end racial segregation
A reprehensible stain that haunted the nation
(Snic)SNCC' s chairman John Lewis was always there
Front and center with energy to spare
Coordinating thousands of students to march and protest
Chanting for their freedom in the name of progress
A young man then, now a living legend
John Lewis, his fate was destined
From Bloody Sunday to sit ins
To the Mississippi Freedom Summer
to the march on Washington
And now, as a U.S Rep.
Heroism follows his every step
From Bloody Sunday to sit ins
To the Mississippi Freedom Summer
to the march on Washington
And now, as a U.S Rep.
Heroism follows his every step
John Lewis, living legend
John Lewis, his fate was destined
