To Dance Again

You’re working hard
Laying the tracks
For the ones who are near you
The ones who are dear to you
You only can hope
That all of your sweat
Will grant them their freedom
Their right to dance
Isn’t that worth fighting for
Isn’t that worth dying for
Isn’t it worth the chance
To dance baby dance
Your footsteps in dust
Where you pounded your heels
Showed your resilience
For those long killed
You only can hope
That those who follow
Will dance in your footsteps
To the beat of their thumping drums
Your children
Their children
Their children
And children
Isn’t that worth fighting for
Isn’t that worth dying for
Isn’t it worth the chance
To dance baby dance
You’re working hard
You’re making amends
Your fighting for freedom
Their right to dance
