The Minority's Hero

It does not take a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority keen on setting BRUSH FIRES OF FREEDOM in the mind's of men.

Samuel Adams

1722-1803

The Minority's Hero

They were all aboard his train
as it pulled out of the station
He was meant to be the one
who would lead this mighty nation

But lies began to surface
and a new face was exposed
Who'd think that such an admirable man
was not who we supposed

The few that saw the truth
has set a fire outside
exposing the plan this leader made
and of the liberty he defied

It takes but a minority
to bring the wrongs to light
and convince the vast majority
to return the wrongs to right

It takes heros to stand up and say
the things that we were thinking
And friendless they may be awhile
until the ship is sinking

But the few will man the lifeboats
and welcome everyone on board
Even if it takes awhile
before others reach accord
