Pass It On!

Ja’Neil Humphrey

Give courage that echoes;

your strength should stretch for miles.

Step up and step out above us

for those who are silenced below.

Your strength should stretch for miles

echoing in the hearts of all in your path.

For those who are silenced below

courage will free their longing souls.

Civil greatness is adolescent;

its growth has stopped over time.

People are scared to restore peace,

oppressed by those who use their power to maintain the cycle.

The world needs someone willing to emerge and to rise above.

Give courage that echoes.
