The waters of Justice roll down
The mountain of humanity.
Justice wears down the rocks of discrimination.
Justice crushes the roots of prejudice.
Justice is beautiful
Justice is genuine.
Don’t plant the seeds of prejudice,
Don’t drop the pebbles of discrimination.
You can be the water.
I can be the water.
Let’s be the water.
