[Intro]
(x4)
[Verse]
Born Brooklyn New York 1941 / His father left Poland 1921
Escaping for lifeâ¦.. a war of the worlds to / world of a working class life
Early on he could see Inequality / aspired to be the man he has proven to be
1962 civil rights he sat in / and arrested he spoke out again and again
[Chorus]
He s the same mans he s always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrants son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human,
no matter what faith or color
[Verse 2]
At the ripe old age of just 21 / he knew there was so much more to be done
It was justice that moved him, to fight segregation / inclusion the only foundation
In, 64 , he took on the world, made music and films, taught children, counseled
speaking out for those afraid to do so,WELL heâs always stood up for whats right
[Chorus]
He s the same mans he s always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrants son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human,
no matter what faith or color
[Verse 3]
In 76â ahead of the mix, he fought for gay rights against stone words and sticks
he fought going to war in the name of good sense, his foresight and judgements precede him
In 1981 folks voted him in & that remarkable night they elected him
He met his love Jane, and they knew at first sight.
Now they ve fought side by side armed with truth love and light
with her heâs the
[Chorus]
He s the same mans he s always been
Bernie from Brooklyn an immigrants son
FIGHTING the good fight for every human,
no matter what faith or color
[Verse]
In 2016 He started a scene and it grew branches and leaves signs of great things
But the powers that be wouldnât see what needs to be done to unite everyone
He said always it was not about him / He was the sanest voice above all the din
we take up the torch now because of him we are singing
[Bridge]
