Let Men Have A Piece of This Earth
Jamal Upshaw 1954 (NYC)
Let men have a piece of this earth,
To till and sow, to live in mirth.
Let them plant their seeds and watch them grow,
And reap the fruits of what they sow.
Let men have a piece of this earth,
To build their homes and raise their hearth.
Let them create a place to call their own,
Where love and laughter are always known.
Let men have a piece of this earth,
To explore its wonders and find their worth.
Let them climb its mountains and sail its seas,
And discover all that nature decrees.
Let men have a piece of this earth,
To cherish and protect, for all its worth.
Let them be stewards of this precious land,
And pass it on, with a gentle hand.
For men are part of this earth's grand plan,
To tend and nurture, with loving hand.
So let them have a piece of this earth,
To live in harmony and share its mirth.
