My Last Goodbye

This is my last good-bye

as I look down from above

My heart is filled with compassion

for the world I truly loved

Don't remember those days of darkness

vicious dogs or jail, violence, bigotry

and hatred that prevailed

Try to help someone along the way

be grateful for each blessing

Oh! Happy-happy day

From silent meadows to mountains high

spread brotherhood-love one another

The humble shall survive

When there is no racism

folks will live as one

Our great nation-at last will overcome

This is the last good-bye

There'll be no sermons anymore

but my prayers are always with you

in the winds from shore to shore
