American Grace
Remember those who grew this food
Who picked and packed
Who shipped and sold.Bronze rainbow arms
Have set this food upon our table.
Remember those who built this house
Assembled, weaved, created
Light and warmth and health.
Remember those who fought and died
To break the king’s command, the slaver’s yoke
And slay the Nazi beast.
Remember those who walked in darkness
Eyes on the gourd and the Trail of Tears,
Marching in Selma, martyred in Memphis
