lyrics

Oh Viola, I can see your face
You tore down walls armed only with your dignity and grace
With quiet unsung bravery
You made this land we love a better place

Along the line some scars have healed yet still we run this race
That calls to our attentions the path we can't retrace
And now drawing on the lessons that you layed before us plain
From your world of shadows, shadows still remain

Oh Viola, I can see your face
You tore down walls armed only with your dignity and grace
You give these times new currency
You made this land we love a better place

They had whisked away your freedom for a penny you won't pay
From the dust of history, we'll chart a brand new way
By understanding answers that you layed before us plain
From your world of shadows, shadows still remain

Oh Viola, I can see your face
Gazing back through destiny with dignity and grace
Fragile skin or who we love
May the content of our hearts be as we're judged
May the content of our hearts rise high above
