Lyrics

- What is a beautiful revolution?
- A beautiful revolution
- A beautiful revolution is when old and outdated ideas are replaced by new and better ones
- Everybody's in peace, everybody's shaking hands
- A beautiful revolution? The Earth going around the Sun, it's a beautiful thing
- The truth is, revolution can be small. It's in the stillness, and it can be painful and warm because it's happening on the inside first. It can't happen out there unless it's happening in here
- A beautiful revolution is a truthful revolution, a revolution that balances the extremes of, of inner and outer, light and dark, good and evil, masculine, feminine, black, white
- People were able to change other peoples' minds without any loss of life and without any shedding of blood
- That's a beautiful revolution
- That's, that's what a beautiful revolution looks like to me

And finally, we take us back, The boat and the big house, my body, my thoughts, our words, our fate, my people, our peace, my people. Come, sit down for a spell. We gather to announce our freedom, unafraid to turn our backs, and we can bring you. And nobody wants us dead. And we are free to rest and tend our wounds. Give us this day to grieve who we could've been. Give us this day to bless the Atlantic floor, to worship what was stolen. Give us more than survival. Weave fists, glistening with Blue Magic and Black Glory. Only roses in our mouths. We pray like this. We keep us safe. We can breathe. We give us breath. And we is us again. Amen
