Born Brooklyn New York 1941
His father left Poland 1921
Escaping for life... a war of the worlds to world of a working class life
Early on he could see Inequality aspired to be the man he has proven to be
1962 civil rights he sat in and arrested he spoke out again and again
He's the same mans he's always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrant's son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human
No matter what faith or color
At the ripe old age of just 21 he knew there was so much more to be done
It was justice that moved him, to fight segregation inclusion the only foundation
In, 64, he took on the world, made music and films, taught children, counseled
Speaking out for those afraid to do so, he's always stood up for whats right
He's the same mans he's always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrant's son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human
No matter what faith or color
In 76' ahead of the mix, he fought for gay rights against stone words and sticks
He fought going to war in the name of good sense, his foresight and judgments precede him
In 1981 folks voted him in & that remarkable night they elected him
He met his love Jane, and they knew at first sight
And they've fought side by side armed with truth, love, and light
With her
He's the same man he's always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrant's son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human
No matter what faith or color
He's the same man he's always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrant's son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human
No matter what faith or color
He's the same man he's always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrant's son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human
No matter what faith or color
In 2016 He started a scene and it grew branches and leaves signs of great things
But the powers that be wouldn't see what needs to be done to unite everyone
He said always it was not about him
He was the sanest voice above all the din
We take up the torch now because of him
We are singing
This is our revolution
Ours a solution
From poverty to liberty
We must educate and illuminate
This is our revolution
Ours a solution
To carry on with what we know
Must be done to help everyone
This is our revolution

From poverty to liberty
We must educate and illuminate
