Remember Who We Are

Remember who we are
As we come from near and far
Women marching in the streets
and bent kneed athletes
We are refuges and dreamers
The Immigrants you blame
We will come from near and far
Remember who we are…
Remember who we are
We carry open scars
Forward in our wheelchairs
You cannot disregard us
As we block the halls of Congress
For the fear of a graveyard
We will come from near and far
Remember who we are…
We stood up to the Klansmen
And the Nazis just the same
And to a tone-deaf president
For whom the victim shares the blame
For a deadly act of terror to him it is just a game
We will come from near and far
Remember who we are…
We are scientists and teachers
Reporters on TV Investigators, lawyers
The facts are plain to see
The evidence is obvious
Don’t look the other way
We will come from near and far
Remember who we are…
We know that all lives matter
But it doesn’t seem that way
When the consequence of living
Is dying everyday…
If the motto of your force
Is self-service and neglect
We will come from near and far
Remember who we are…
The schools are filled with children
Who live with different rules
Drills and lockdowns put in place
Can’t save them from these fools
As you pander to the worst in us
Young lives are laid to waste
We will come from near and far
Remember who we are
