David Roth
Satyagraha
One hundred years ago, halfway 'round the worldA fertile seed took hold in a barren fieldA lawyer thrown from a train, ticket in his handSpent the night in the station, Pietermaritzburg, South AfricaSatyagraha, satyagrahaSatyagraha, clinging to the truthSatyagraha, satyagrahaSatyagraha, clinging to the truthStruggling with his rage, shaping his transformationAlchemizing shame into dignityTuesday night they came, three thousand men and womenInvited by the one taken from the train, it was time for changeSatyagraha, satyagrahaSatyagraha, clinging to the truthSatyagraha, satyagrahaSatyagraha, clinging to the truthThe man was Mohandas Ghandi, the year was 1906The date was September 11th, there was a problem he needed to fixAnd that was the night civil disobedienceCame into the light of our consciousnessOne hundred years ago, now one hundred years beyondLetras de cancionesOne hundred and eighty degrees, we must turn aroundReturn to peaceSatyagraha, satyagrahaSatyagraha, clinging to the truthSatyagraha, satyagrahaSatyagraha, clinging to the truth
