To the children, foster your own thoughts and dreams. What does your soul tell you? Who are you? Be you. It's your world. Remember to love and listen to your master's voice, whoever that may be.
"[Kids stating their dreams]
Be, be here, be there, be that, be this
Be grateful for life, be grateful to life
Be gleeful everyday, for bein' the best swimmer among 500,000
Be-nign, be you, be mom's mean pie
Be little black sambo with bad hair
Be aware of Willie Lynchism, Be, be boundless energy
Be a four-star ghetto general, be no one except I
Be food for thought to the growin' mind
Be the author of your own horoscope
Be invited, be long-living, be forgiving, be not forgetful
Be a proud run, only to return to fight another day
Be peaceful if possible, but justice in any way
Be high when you low, be on time but know when to go
Be cautious of the road to college
Takin' a detour through Vietnam or the Middle East
Be visual of foreclosure over your shoulder while beggin'
A nation built on free labor for reparation
Be a cartopographer, a map maker
Be able to find Afro-American land
Search thoroughly, it may be close to black land
Be amended 5/5ths, be amended 5/5ths human
Be the owner of more land than is set aside for wildlife
Be cupid, to world government
Be found among the truth, lost tribe
Be at full strength when walking through the valley
Be not foolish as temporary king of the mountaintop
Be a brilliant soul
Sparklin in the galaxy while walkin on Earth
Be loved by God
As much as God loved Ghandi and Martin Luther King
Be that last one of 144,000
Be the resident of the twelfth house
Be...eternal!"
