The revolution has come,
it has gone,
it was televised
and for the most part,
many of us were left behind.
There will be no instant replay,
Jesse Jackson still
is a has been
a not really
and a never will be.
The revolution
was here and
I believe brother
you got left behind.
The revolution will not
come again,
Its message
was
do for yourself
it matters not
what your neighbor says
he won't pay your bills.
There will be no replay
on the late news
the late, late show
or the morning show.
Take up your shoes
find and make your way in the world.
This is not the time.
All those promises
where have they got you today
All those prayers
got your courage up.
The revolution will come again
when you awaken it in yourself.
