Holding hands, we’ve got a reason
To be together.
Taking a stand, for a moment in time
And forever.
We’re all here,
Because we care,
About something.
We each speak,
but together
One voice matters
Sickened by the news,
Hate against Blacks and Jews.
Schoolchildren aren’t safe,
Tiki torches in our face,
their light shows, we’re all one race.
No one wants your view,
But I do,
And the women scream,
“Me too!”
Arm in arm, defending our rights
For each other.
Sound the alarm, have we stopped caring
For one another?
Thoughts and prayers
Are all we hear,
We need more.
If we all,
speak together
Our voices matter.
We can’t feed our poor,
But the rich keep getting more.
Instead of bridges,
We get walls.
When did we go blind, to the suffering
Of the stranger,
who’s our neighbor?
I can’t just be for me, if I’m free,
So people, follow me.
Open your eyes, staring down power
For freedom.
Time to rise, pray with your feet.
We need you.
Speaking up,
Because silence,
Grows evil.
If we all,
March together
Our footsteps matter.
We spend more on defense,
But we never invest,
In those we most need to protect.
Land of opportunity?
Shutting doors?
What future is in store?
Now is our time.
Get in line.
Your voice,
Is mine!
