Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman escaped from slavery, running through the night, Free at last, and still she stayed to keep on fighting, She turned around and went back, again and again and again, Guiding others north to freedom, again and yet again.

They called the secret pathway the Underground Railroad, Safe houses, secret signals, a path that gently flowed, Through forests, over rivers, hiding in the dark of night, Harriet led them, step by step, toward freedom's guiding light.

Thirteen times she made the trip, back into danger's reach, Never lost a traveler on the whole long trip she'd teach, They called her Moses, brave and steady, leading through the dark, Carrying courage, carrying hope, lighting up a spark.

Harriet Tubman's courage still lights up the way today, One woman, so much bravery, showing there's always a way, Freedom is worth fighting for, worth every daring mile, We remember Harriet Tubman, and her brave and steady smile.
