**Title:** "We Left Our Mark"
**Verse 1:**
Imagine a world without jazz and blues
No Motown sound, no Aretha Franklin's voice in the news
But our impact goes far beyond the stage
From science to art, we've left our mark on every page
**Pre-Chorus:**
We've left our mark on the world, in every way
From music to art, to science and play
Our contributions are vast, our impact is grand
We have shaped this land
**Chorus:**
Without us there would be no swing, no funk, no R&B too
Without us there would be no style, no flavor, no beat for you
From Duke Ellington to Katherine Johnson, we've made our mark
Our legacy will live on, and forever leave its spark
**Verse 2:**
Picture a world without Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream
No civil rights movement, no equality to beam
But our impact goes far beyond the struggle for rights
We've made significant contributions in every field of sight
**Pre-Chorus:**
We've left our mark on the world, in every way
From music to art, to science and play
Our contributions are vast, our impact is grand
We have shaped this land
**Chorus:**
Without us there would be no swing, no funk, no R&B too
Without us there would be no style, no flavor, no beat for you
From Duke Ellington to Katherine Johnson, we've made our mark
Our legacy will live on, and forever leave its spark
**Chorus:**
Without us there would be no swing, no funk, no R&B too
Without us there would be no style, no flavor, no beat for you
From Duke Ellington to Katherine Johnson, we've made our mark
Our legacy will live on, and forever leave its spark
**Bridge:**
We invented the traffic light, the elevator, and the postal service too
We contributed to NASA's success, with engineers like Katherine Johnson shining through
Our art, fashion, and dance have influenced the world
From Picasso to Vogue, our creativity unfurls
**Chorus:**
Without us there would be no swing, no funk, no R&B too
Without us there would be no style, no flavor, no beat for you
From Duke Ellington to Katherine Johnson, we've made our mark
Our legacy will live on, and forever leave its spark
**Chorus:**
Without us there would be no swing, no funk, no R&B too
Without us there would be no style, no flavor, no beat for you
From Duke Ellington to Katherine Johnson, we've made our mark
Our legacy will live on, and forever leave its spark
**Chorus:**
Without us there would be no swing, no funk, no R&B too
Without us there would be no style, no flavor, no beat for you
From Duke Ellington to Katherine Johnson, we've made our mark
Our legacy will live on, and forever leave its spark
