Lyrics

Just Getting Started

Moses lead the people across the burning sands
when he came up to the red sea, he lifted both his hands
he looked to the left - then he looked to the right
he picked up his staff - hit the ground with all his might, he said,

you cant stop me now, you cant stop me now
i’m just getting started

MLK got to preaching that he dreamed of a change
how one day we would all rise up, rise up in love’s name
he picked up his left foot, and he picked up his right
Then he started marching for inalienable rights CH (solo)

I was attacked by the self-righteous, clicking cogs in the machine
cuz I defend poor huddled masses, human rights and equality
i put up my left hand - then i put up my right
i stand willing and able - ready to fight the good fight CH
