lyrics

You know…if the power for sharing OUR truth
Writing OUR story
Painting OUR picture
Belongs to someone else…
Then we truly are helpless and hopeless without them
And that’s not freedom
That’s not a people empowered
That’s called being a victim
Bad enough that our history is haunted
By the ghosts of a bygone age
When opportunity was won by class, gender and race
And when I say gender…
I’m not talking about boys and girls
I’m talking about people who live inside, outside & all around
Those gender labels…everybody into the boat
But that is not the case today
Because we are not voiceless
Left high and dry without chances or choices
Yesterday…that might have been the way
But not today
We are the new we are the now
We are today and we are the future and our history too
All three things wrapped up in one…me and you
