[verse 1: justice hernandez]
dear future lawyers
i wanted to address you with that
but i won’t
‘cause most will not even graduate from here

and that’s the cold hard truth

[verse 2: justice hernandez]
fact: last year’s batch started out like you
hundreds of hopefuls, eyes all so full of certainty
that they would make it
most didn’t make it

[verse 3: justice hernandez]
and even if they made it that far
not everyone will pass the bar
in fact, the passing rate for the bar exam is thirty-one
to low of seventeen percent

[verse 4: justice hernandez]
will that be you?
is it up to you?
i hope it’s you

[verse 5: justice hernandez]
dear future lawyers
i hope to call you that someday
but no
that day is a million tears away
[female professor]
uh, can you leave some words of encouragement?

[verse 6: justice hernandez]
pray. this, i also said to them:
pray. they all sat where you are
now and then, the lot of you share the same

[verse 7: justice hernandez]
energy of the flame trapped inside
your kindred hearts ready to burst
wanting to cleanse the world with fire
absolute that you are the change

[verse 8: justice hernandez]
maybe it’s you?
is it you?
maybe it’s you?

[verse 9: justice hernandez]
but can you hold the flame alive?
can you endure the heat and survive?
can you make that sacrifice?
know that fire burns on both sides

[verse 10: justice hernandez]
pray, pray hard and keep your faith
faith in truth
faith in people
faith in you
for the world will shake it
man will break it
the years will tear you apart

[verse 11: justice hernandez]
what parts of you shall you lose?
what are you willing to give up?
now choose, will you make that sacrifice?
know that fire burns on both sides

[justice hernandez]
dear future servants, good citizens
dear future legislators, politicians
dear future judges, perhaps, justices?

[verse 12: justice hernandez]
begin with “dear future lawyers,”
i hope you earn that name someday
and when you do, blaze a smile
so i know that our dear, just lord has answered you

[verse 13: justice hernandez, company]
and there’s still a little light
a light in you (woah, oh, oh)
in you (woah, oh, oh )
a light in you (woah, oh, oh)
[verse 15: justice hernandez, company]
hold the flame
alive in you (alive in you)
the light in you (the light in you)
it should be you

have faith in you!
