What happened to the passion
that used to be
seen in most eyes
as we struggled to be free
When Malcom could ignite
cause our blood to rush
and Martin, with a word
the multitude would hush
I wonder where the passion went
when we had a cause
Did our passion go in peace
with the passing of some laws
Has the flame of our passion
been blown out by drugs
Or was our passion stolen
by some European thugs
What happened to the passion
that once prevailed
even though you knew
protest meant jail
Was our passion checked
at the door with our coats
Or was our passion strangled
by the gold round our throats
When we marched for freedom
what was it for
To give it all back
at the designer store?
What happened to the passion
in our neighborhood
what happened to our quest
for the common good
What happened, can you tell me
please explain
Did our passion leave
on a west bound train
Or has that one eyed Lucifer
called the TV screen
sucked our passion into it
drained us clean
I wonder where our passion went
does anyone know
If you find it please tell me
cause I miss it so...
