Cesar Chavez,
Out of American Badlands— Against American abuses,
A Labor Leader of Courageous Will arises.
Raised in the Grapes of Wrath, injustices upon the poor he resists, worker unions galvanizes.
In the backbreaking fields, the seasonal labor slave-like for big agribusiness;
Under the burning sun, for dimes and dollars a day, for migrants the days endless.
To end these hardships, each desperate farm worker marches united for fairness.
Long strikes without pay, painful hunger strikes, enduring the fearful — fearless.
Behold the brave, who even in ever deeper poverty, nationwide boycotts organizes.
Not seeking justice just for themselves — rather for every communities’ progress.
United Farm Workers, All Workers, sacrificing as a non-violent struggle for justness.
The Theme: given Life by God our lives an awesome opportunity God uses
Ever Shining forth Spirit Empowering: Cesar Chavez.
