We
Here we are.
We, the people.
The loved, the hated, the oppressed, the sedated.
From the earth we dwell,
Drinking from the same well,
We will all wind up in both heaven and Hell.
Angels of mercy united together,
We are all the same in the eyes of the lord,
Look at the storm we all weather.
Look at how far we’ve all come,
Fighting slavery, racism and hate
But you know we aren’t done.
Is it bold of me to say we lead in this crusade?
All of us Sailors beating to the same drum,
Sharing the same beds that we made.
The Trevor’s, the Tina’s, Jose’s and Mike’s.
Inside aren’t we all just alike?
We beg, we bleed, we lust, we need,
Little did we know we are grown from the same seed.
Let us stand together, the red, white, and blue
