Born so very long ago
In little Massachusetts
Who would've guessed how far you'd go
When it came to social movements?
Fighting for all those in need
You gave each one a voice
Everyone is quite agreed
Thanks to you they had a choice
Standing up when told to sit
Speaking your mind whenever
Now their votes they can submit
The course of voting changed forever
But stop there? I think not
You chose to fight for more
Fighting for the good was your spot
You were too much to ignore
Your mark remains on us all
You kept fighting no matter what
Giving out a hoot and a call
When you knew something in your gut
You never gave up the fight
You had something to fight for
So I thank you for being so bright
And we'll remember you forever more.
