Seneca Falls to Selma

Seneca Falls convention eighteen forty-eight
First time women gathered in vigorous debate
Seeking civil rights with suffrage on their slate
After years of tireless struggle they won the fight
They won the right to vote


Seneca Falls to Selma, Selma to Stonewall
People fight for justice, equality for all


Selma bloody Sunday March of '65
Black and white together walking side by side
Peacefully protesting segregated lives
Faced with fear and hatred they marched along
They all marched on this time

Seneca Falls to Selma, Selma to Stonewall
People fight for justice, equality for all


Yes people rise together answering the call
To cast off their oppression, daring to stand tall
Doing what it takes to shape their fate


New York City evening summer '69
The Stonewall Inn was busy, the patrons sure looked fine
Gathering together away from prying eyes
When the cops came to arrest them the queens fought back
Threw the raid off track that night

Seneca Falls to Selma, Selma to Stonewall
People fight for justice, equality for all
People fight for justice, equality for all
