Billy by Jewel
I know little billy from the small time town
Ma and pa meant well but they just weren't around
But he would learn what little they had taught
They told him, heaven is hard but hell is not
He remembers papa's words before he died
He said, word hard son, you must change the tide
Before our people have liberation, you can never rest
On your shoulders, lies our future boy, so do your best
Do more than your best
Never forgot the burden of his father's words
He lost his own life and lived the world's
No one told billy theres somethings one man just can't do
Takes time to forgive and equality to take more before it's through
