Lyrics

The Last Mile

Rivers were made for flowing

So why not let them flow?

People were made for showing

So why not let them show?

Show a little laughter

Show a little smile

'Cause we've started on the last mile

Children's minds are crippled

Black is what they see

Man's mind is murdered

So why not let him see?

Show a little laughter

Show a little smile

'Cause we've started on the last mile

Children's minds are crippled

Black is what they see

Man's mind is murdered

So why not let him see?

Show a little laughter

Show a little smile

'Cause we've started on the last mile
