Frederick Douglass
A heart can be broken
A heart can despair
But a heart that is open
Will climb up the stairs
Looking for a higher love
We all want a higher love
Frederick Douglass, you're my hero
'Cause nothing could keep you down
Nothing could keep you down
Sometimes I feel so ashamed
When I can't get back up again
I don't stand up despite the pain
And I don't walk on despite my rage
You had a higher love
You had a higher love
Read
With the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
He wrote on stone and he wrote in the sand
He held the words right in his hand
To illuminate, emancipate
His beautiful mind
He had a higher love
He had a higher love
He had a higher love
Read
Were the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Oh, Frederick Douglass, you're my hero
'Cause nothing could keep you down
Nothing could keep you down
He had a higher love
He had a higher love
Oh let's just try to be kind
Let's try to be kind
Let's try to be kind
Let's try to be kind
Read
Were the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Oh, Frederick Douglass, you're my hero
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
A heart can despair
But a heart that is open
Will climb up the stairs
Looking for a higher love
We all want a higher love
Frederick Douglass, you're my hero
'Cause nothing could keep you down
Nothing could keep you down
Sometimes I feel so ashamed
When I can't get back up again
I don't stand up despite the pain
And I don't walk on despite my rage
You had a higher love
You had a higher love
Read
With the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
He wrote on stone and he wrote in the sand
He held the words right in his hand
To illuminate, emancipate
His beautiful mind
He had a higher love
He had a higher love
He had a higher love
Read
Were the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Oh, Frederick Douglass, you're my hero
'Cause nothing could keep you down
Nothing could keep you down
He had a higher love
He had a higher love
Oh let's just try to be kind
Let's try to be kind
Let's try to be kind
Let's try to be kind
Read
Were the first words of the prophet
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Read
Like my mother told me
Read
Just like Frederick Douglass
Oh, Frederick Douglass, you're my hero
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
He walked on water
