She passionately plays on the piano
As she unleashes the passionate message
That’s on her heart in song
“I’m just a soul whose intentions
Are good,
Oh lord please don’t let me be
Misunderstood”
Her pride in her culture expressed in
Young, Gifted, and Black,
Sinnerman,
Backlash Blues.
A civil rights activist in song
Ms. Simone sung the blues
Most feared to sing
The sun rose on her in North Carolina
And set on her in Paris
She’s a beloved influence in
Music and poetry
