Bilingual
I'm not afraid of the black man running
He's got it right, he's got a better life comin'
ย
And I don't care what the Captain said
I fold it right at the top of my head
ย
I lost my sight and the state packs in
I follow my heart and it leads me right to Jackson
ย
(Oh Keller, oh oh oh oh)
She gave us a medal she gave us a map
ย
(Oh Canner Row, oh oh oh)
If seeing is right, then look where you're at
ย
I'm not afraid of Nichol's Park
I ride the train and I ride it after dark
ย
And I'm not afraid to get it right
I turn around and I give it one more try
ย
And I said things that I meant to say
The bandstand chairs and the Dewey Day Parade
ย
I go out to the Golden Age
The spirit is right and the spirit doesn't change
ย
(Oh Keller, oh oh oh oh)
She gave us a mirror, she gave us a map
ย
(Oh Canner Row, oh oh oh)
If seeing is right, then look where you're at
ย
Andrew Jackson! All I'm asking
Show us the wheel, and give us the wine
ย
Raise the Banner, Jackson Hammer!
Everyone goes to the capitol line
ย
Colored Preacher, nice to meet you!
The spirit is here, and the spirit is fine
ย
Education! Ask the nation!
You gave us our sight and the hearing is fine
ย
Andrew Jackson! All I'm asking
Give us the wheel, and give us the wine
ย
