Sincerely Yours

Sincerely Yours - original music and lyrics by Elle Carpenter
It’s easy to believe what you see on TV
It’s a lot harder to stand when no one’s holding your hand
Red, white, and blue stand for freedom and truth
Now all the colors in the rainbow sky stand for questions
Yeah, we’re gonna ask why; we’re gonna ask why
Cause it burns our hearts; we won’t give up
Let’s help them see that we are the people
We’re not that rich and you’re okay with it
The power’s ours cause we are the people
I find it hard to understand that a 55 year old man
Won’t want to give future generations a chance
He’s got 8 grandkids so far
And it burns my heart; I won’t give up
Let’s help him see that we are the people
I’d travel miles to give a little kid a smile
But not just one child
Cause they’ll be the people one day
They’ll be the people
I want our future generations to say
“They fought for us and they had no shame”
I want to be a mother someday
So I’m begging you; I’m begging you now
To look at our burning hearts
And know that we’re not gonna stop
There’s too much love to give up now
I’m gonna fight some way some how
A woman at a corner cafe frowns
She loves her job but people look down
And she says she doesn’t need a million bucks to live
“If I can provide for a sick husband and kids”
And it burns our hearts; we won’t give up
Let’s help them see that we are the people
We’ll travel miles so one day the truth makes us smile
The power’s ours cause we are the people; we are the people
We are the people
Sincerely yours, The People
