Stand Tall by the Water
Stand tall
by the water
know no fear or loneliness
let this love
cross you over
let this song
bid you well
by the water
know no fear or loneliness
let this love
cross you over
let this song
bid you well
I was recently rereading the writings of Martin Luther King, Jr., and I understood once again that the whole movement was based on love--love that doesn't exclude anybody. . . when you take that view and you begin to live by it, something begins to shift very dramatically and you begin to see things in a different way. You begin to have the clarity to see injustice happening, but you can also see that injustice, by its very definition, is harming everybody involved. It's harming the people who are being oppressed or abused, and it's harming those who are oppressing and abusing.
