He Was Such A Man: Lyrics about Honor: written during the Oakland Occupation and the "Occupations" of this Nation, in the Fall of 2011 - needs a music arrangement/activist/performer to carry it through....

HE WAS SUCH A MAN

He was such a Man -
He'd stand and let them push him
By the salt, salt sea there:
India and the Sun hot - the People
And the Salt Mines...
British and the Workers -
They Fell and rose in glory
I saw it in the movies:
He was such a Man

CHORUS:
He was such a Man
To honor - hold in honor -
We'll remember Ghandi: for
He was such a Man

He was such a Man
He'd preach and they would follow
On the buses: moving on
Into the seats forbidden: the cafes
And the counters in the drugstores
Of this nation: He said he had
A Dream we all could follow: for
He was such a Man

CHORUS:

He was such a Man
To honor - hold in honor
We'll remember MLK: for
He was such a Man

He was such a man
He taught and told the truth to
Everyone - he gave his Time -
He didn't have the glory...but he
Made each day a blessing for
All his friends and work-mates -
We called him Pops - we loved him -
He was such a man

CHOURUS:
same as above:
...We'll remember Walter Fanning -
he was such a man


He is such a man
He sings and teaches students
Integrity - Adventure - he
Opens eyes ears and minds:
Our Teacher: we call him
Sir because respect is given
Where it is due and worthy :
He is such a man

CHORUS:
same as above
...We'll remember this one teaching: for
in this Occupation:
he is such a man.
