I Am*Proudly One Of The Little Rock Nine
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
I wonder how it would feel to be a white student
I hear them talking about my skin color
I see the other eight trembling in fear
I want to be accepted
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
I pretend that what they say doesn't effect me
I feel the segregation between our races
I need support from my fellow race
I worry that school will never be safe
I cry only when I am in the protection of my own home
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
I understand the past
I believe it should change
I dream we will one day be harmonious
I try to ignore the hatred
I hope they will soon accept me
I am proudly one of the Little Rock Nine
