Song for Cesar Chavez, Mexican American Chicano Cesar Chavez

Cesar Chavez was born a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez lived his life a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez struggled for justice a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez fasted his body away, a Mexican American, a Chicano

…achieving justice for his people

He wore his Mexican American his Chicano body away

…winning justice for his people


Cesar Chavez fasted a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez prayed a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez walked a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez prayed his body away, a Mexican American, a Chicano

…achieving justice for his people

He gave his Mexican American his Chicano body away

…winning justice for his people


Cesar Chavez fasted a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez prayed a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez walked a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez walked his body away, a Mexican American, a Chicano

…achieving justice for his people

He marched his Mexican American his Chicano body away

…winning justice for his people


Cesar Chavez was born a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez lived his life a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez struggled for justice a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez gave his body away, a Mexican American, a Chicano

…achieving justice for his people

He gave his Mexican American his Chicano body away

…winning justice for his people


Honor Cesar Chavez as you will

Honor Cesar Chavez as you will

Honor Mexican American Cesar Chavez

honor the great Mexican-American Raza hero Chicano giant Cesar Chavez as you will, but


Cesar Chavez was born a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez lived his life a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez struggled for justice a Mexican American, a Chicano

Cesar Chavez para siempre a Mexican American, a Chicano, Raza

...achieving justice for his people

...winning justice for his people
