歌词

I’ve written the final note...
Played the final chord
Of the opera...
It is done!
My opera is complete!
Treemonisha!
TREE-MO-NISH-A!
What a beautiful sound!
A grand opera
To call my own
How glorious!
This work will stand tall among the masters!
And the whole world will know
The majesty
Of the Afro-American
Imagination
An irrefutable proclamation
Of our music;
Significant
And everlasting
God willing!
A classical composition
Of the highest degree.
Ev’ry melodic line
Ev’ry syncopation
An affirmation
And a song of praise
To the Almighty’s grace
That we might assume
Our rightful place
In this society
Equal
And viable
Citizens!
A treatise
Against poverty and ignorance
A testament
To our abiding faith—
O, How lofty and grandiose...
My mind has run away with itself!
And yet,
[SING:] I’ve done my bit,
As sure as I’m standing here.
Fatigued, yes...
But utterly inspired!
By every syncopated melody
And colorful harmony
A gift
To my people—
For all time!
