Survival

American history in six verses. This song is what music teachers can teach their classes in schools where they are not allowed to teach true history. Telling the truth is one thing privileged white people like me can do to fight racism. On my album "We Shall Stay Here." paulkaplanmusic.com Lyrics below. Survival There was an African Who lived in Sierra Leone And when the locusts came They ate the rice she’d grown But they’re not hard to catch And when she brought them home They made a decent meal Survival. There was a prisoner Upon a stormy sea Under a bloody moon Chained in captivity But he could feel the arms Of his strong family tree Bearing him through the night Survival. There was a laborer Beneath the burning sun At night her master came So he could have his fun Her children all of them Were sold in Charleston They carried all her dreams Survival. There was a sharecropper On a poor patch of land Who yearned to scream above The hoofbeats of the Klan But no one hears the cries Of three-fifths of a man He learned to bite his tongue Survival. There was a citizen Who had the right to vote Though she knew if she tried They just might slit her throat But she had come so far From that dark slavery boat And so she found a way Survival. It's on the video For everyone to see The knee that’s kept them down Through four long centuries But they are rising now Determined to be free At last to guarantee Survival. © 2020 Paul Kaplan Music ASCAP
