We are a gentle, angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a justice-seeking people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are young and old together
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a land of many colors
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are gay and straight together
And we are singing, singing for our lives
We are a gentle, loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
