Need something sweet something to eat
Dreaming of the taste is just a waste
Inaction is a craving that sometimes goes away
Honey drips from your lips
Passion in the words you use nothing to prove
Nourishment isn\'t just in the food it is what is inside of you
Need something sweet something like peace
Dreaming of togetherness and what together we can achieve
Fear is just a distraction from the truth
Honey drips from his lips
Passion in his voice there is no other choice
Words of compassion words with feeling understand the meaning
Need something sweet something to hear
Dreaming of Marvin\'s words *\"For only love can conquer hate\"
We mush march the path has been paved
Honey drips from her lips
Her breath through the flute passion is the tune
Million tears left at the fence mixed with the mace of ignorance
Need something sweet like freedom
Four hundred years of forgetting is coming to an end
Our ancestors might not have been friends but together we can win
