In the shadows and the light, they stride,
Through trials and triumphs, side by side.
Their history rich, their future bright,
Black lives matter, their strength a guiding light.

From the roots of ancient lands they came,
Through chains of sorrow, through fire and flame.
They rise above, with dignity and grace,
Carving a path, in every space.

Their voices echo in the halls of time,
With songs of freedom, and spirit sublime.
The world watches, learns, and grows,
Inspired by the resilience that always shows.

In unity they stand, in love they thrive,
For in their hearts, a fierce drive.
To change the world, to make it right,
Black lives shine, a beacon in the night.
