A Hero
Someone who defies all odds
They said they would take it down
She couldn't wait
Neither could we
The fact is
It's been over a century
It's not about pride
Southern or American
It's about hate
Fear of change
Living for the past
So I say Bravo Bree
They helped you climb
Those who escaped to the North
They helped you climb
Those who sat in Woolworths
They helped you climb
Those who took the freedom rides
They helped you climb
Those who were strung up in trees
They helped you climb
And you went up up up
And came down a hero.
