So, boy, don’t you turn back.

Don’t you set down on the steps ’Cause you finds it kinder hard,

Don’t you fall now—

For I’se still goin,’

honey, I’se still climbin,’

And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair

Communism fails to see the truth in individualism

Capitalism fails to realize that life is social

but a socially conscious democracy which reconciles the truths of individualism and collectivism
