In the heart of Baltimore, a voice so strong and clear,
Larry Young, our champion, for many a year.
From the halls of Annapolis, to the radio waves,
Fighting for justice, and the change we crave.

Larry Young, you’ve been our light,
Guiding us through the darkest night.
Always a voice, a champion for justice,
Lifting voices, breaking silence.
Larry Young, your legacy,
Will echo through our history.
