Little Thing Just a little thing, sitting in a seat Just a little thing, refusing to be weak What difference will it make, in the front or in the back You’re just one person and black Sitting there won’t change all that Just a little thing Just look back from where you stand, 2000 years or so They stuck a guy up on a cross and how that thing did grow Now two billion people are pushing what they need A little thing now touches a third of humanity Just a little thing So here I stand with my brown bag, a bag I’ve used before And it may be I’m the only one who’s brought a bag back through the door But a thing that I don’t understand is take a life, use it once, then bury it in the land All things must start somewhere, what’s big has memory It’s just one little thing, perhaps a big thing will start with me Just a little thing Just a big thing
