Me & You Lyrics - Singles - Meet The Blackbird

At sixty one, man took a walk, two hundred miles in twenty four days 

the British Empire, 1930, had much to learn from this man's ways 

after morning prayers on the 12 of March he and eighty set out for the shore 

the 5th of April there were tens of thousands 

to watch him scoop the salt that would be taxed no more 

It's just me & you here 

just me and you here 

Alabama in '55, Rosa Parks refused to stand 

she worked all day she would not give her bus seat up to a white man 

she was arrested, Martin Luther King began the boycott then 

eleven months later there was Martin and Rosa 

the first to ride the bus again, first come first serve 

just me & you here 

just me & you here 

they were courageous, fought with a dignity and love that Christ would bless 

these people stood with unity, and bring to us a new consciousness 

if suffering's to be endured, then we'll take it on ourselves and still 

we are prepared to die for our ideals, but we refuse to kill for them cause 

it's just me & you here 

just me & you here 

Avoid all violence in word and deed if peaceful progress is your creed 

think in terms of transformation, never of retaliation 

since every system is bound to teach it represents what's good and right 

our duty is expose injustice, opponent may turn ally overnight 

it's just me & you here 

just me & you here 

Goddess Victory is a small-minded bitch who steals from one to reward the other 

and profits herself in grandeur and godhood, by turning brother against brother 

she's best left to antiquity, cause all I see is you and me 

and love can find a better way, cause life is not a game we play 

it's a joy we share 

it's just me & you here 

just me & you here
