Wilberforce - can change the course of history
Only Wilberforce - can stop this evil slavery
You may choose to look the other way
But you can never say you did not know
Great indeed are opportunities
Great also is our responsibility
Wilberforce - can change the course of history
God Almighty has set before me
Two Great Objectives
The suppression of the Slave Trade
And the Reformation of Manners
Selfishness makes us overate our qualities
And overlook our defects
We are too young to realize
Things are impossible...
So we'll do them anyway
Wilberforce - can change the course of history
Only Wilberforce - can stop this evil slavery
If to be alive to the sufferings of my fellow creatures
Is to be a fanatic, then I'm one of the most incurable fanatics ever permitted to be alive
Wilberforce - can change the course of history
Only Wilberforce - can stop this evil slavery
