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   Just takes time      But still billy went down to the big time town   Hoping to find some justice there,   But God how it all seems cynical through the eyes of despair   He no longer saw in color, he only saw black and white   There were never people behind thses faces   Until he realized one man can't win   Can't win this fight      So billy went back to small time town   He got a life and he settled down   He teaches children who never really thought   He told them, heaven is hard and hell is   Heaven is hard and hell is   Hell is not worth fighting for.      Transcribed by adam longfellow
