An Abolitionist Wish

She wished to free his heart from the confines of his pain
Removing him from the dark; providing shelter from the rain
She's full of disdain about the things he's endured
Like sickle cells in his veins flowing without a cure

With a pure spirit she proceeded to take him underground
A conductor with experience who knew how to get around
Listening for the sounds of the spirituals in the air
Serving as the symbols of the coast being clear

Once she could hear them she took him towards the North Star
The direction of freedom that can be viewed from afar
No matter where you are the stars can guide you
Something tried & true that she already knew

She assembled a crew to help 'em get through the terrain
Journeying on soils of buried souls drenched from blood stains
Trying to avoid seeing strange fruit dangling from the trees
Her only wish being was seeing this man finally free
