30th day that’s, in December Is a day that everybody’s gonna remember Cause
on that day a righteous man Thought
about takin a brand-new stand The
name of the man is Jesse Jackson And
his call for peace was loud as action Cause
now’s the time to change the nation But
not with just another negotiation He went to the East for human’s rights To free the lieutenant shot down in flight Just
another statistic and, the government knew it They
didn’t even want the man to go do it Before
he left he, called the President’s home And
Reagan didn’t even answer the phone But
I tell you one thing that’s a natural fact You
can bet he called Jesse when Jesse got back [Sylvia
