Charles Sumner
Only the casket left, the jewel gone
Whose noble presence filled these stately rooms
And made this spot a shrine where pilgrims came
Stranger and friend, to bend in reverence
I wanna fight for the things that are right
I wanna fight till the end of the night
I wanna feel when there's love in the end
I wanna see justice for all my friends
I wanna see all my dreams start to come true
I want a better world for you
I'm tired of seeing things black and white
I'm gonna face the world, put up a fight
Before the great, pure soul that knew no guile
To listen to the wise and gracious words
That fell from lips whose rare, exquisite smile
Gave tender beauty to the grand, grave face
Upon these pictured walls we see thy peers
Poet, and saint, and sage, painter, and king
I wanna fight for the things that are right
I wanna fight till the end of the night
I wanna feel when there's love in the end
I wanna see justice for all my friends
I wanna see all my dreams start to come true
I want a better world for you
I'm tired of seeing things black and white
I'm gonna face the world, put up a fight
A glorious band, they shine upon us still
Still, gleam in marble the enchanting forms
Whereupon thy artist eye delighted dwelt
Thy favorite Psyche droops her matchless face
Listening, methinks, for the beloved voice
Which nevermore on earth shall sound her praise
All these remain, the beautiful, the brave
The gifted, silent ones, but thou art gone
Fair is the world that smiles upon us now
Blue are the skies of June, balmy the air
I wanna fight for the things that are right
I wanna fight till the end of the night
I wanna feel when there's love in the end
I wanna see justice for all my friends
I wanna see all my dreams start to come true
I want a better world for you
I'm tired of seeing things black and white
I'm gonna face the world, put up a fight
That soothes with touches soft the weary brow
And perfect days glide into perfect nights
Moonlit and calm, but still our grateful hearts
Are sad, and faint with fear
For thou art gone
And thou art gone
Whose noble presence filled these stately rooms
And made this spot a shrine where pilgrims came
Stranger and friend, to bend in reverence
I wanna fight for the things that are right
I wanna fight till the end of the night
I wanna feel when there's love in the end
I wanna see justice for all my friends
I wanna see all my dreams start to come true
I want a better world for you
I'm tired of seeing things black and white
I'm gonna face the world, put up a fight
Before the great, pure soul that knew no guile
To listen to the wise and gracious words
That fell from lips whose rare, exquisite smile
Gave tender beauty to the grand, grave face
Upon these pictured walls we see thy peers
Poet, and saint, and sage, painter, and king
I wanna fight for the things that are right
I wanna fight till the end of the night
I wanna feel when there's love in the end
I wanna see justice for all my friends
I wanna see all my dreams start to come true
I want a better world for you
I'm tired of seeing things black and white
I'm gonna face the world, put up a fight
A glorious band, they shine upon us still
Still, gleam in marble the enchanting forms
Whereupon thy artist eye delighted dwelt
Thy favorite Psyche droops her matchless face
Listening, methinks, for the beloved voice
Which nevermore on earth shall sound her praise
All these remain, the beautiful, the brave
The gifted, silent ones, but thou art gone
Fair is the world that smiles upon us now
Blue are the skies of June, balmy the air
I wanna fight for the things that are right
I wanna fight till the end of the night
I wanna feel when there's love in the end
I wanna see justice for all my friends
I wanna see all my dreams start to come true
I want a better world for you
I'm tired of seeing things black and white
I'm gonna face the world, put up a fight
That soothes with touches soft the weary brow
And perfect days glide into perfect nights
Moonlit and calm, but still our grateful hearts
Are sad, and faint with fear
For thou art gone
And thou art gone
