Our Founding Fathers knew it was our right
To protest the things we thought were wrong
To gather together in a peaceful group
And petition our leaders in word and song
To let them know we need a change
Of the things that do us wrong
That make our lives to seem less free
In our country so safe and strong
But some of our fellow folks
Have decided that peace is not the way
To let us know what grieves their souls
Their anger will not sway
For that small portion of you all
That think we’ll accept your view
By burning your own neighborhoods
Will welcome your demands as true
Destroying what your neighbors built
That bettered how you live
Just says that you have no regard
For the work your friends did give
If you think this destructiveness
Will scare us to our core
And make us change our wayward ways
You push enough, a bull will gore
If you would like for us to change
Then you must change as well
For only if we will work as one
Can we all change this spell
The Lord has told us we should love
Each other right or wrong
But, oh how hard it is to love
Someone who wants you gone
To believe you can create a war
That will make us go away
Because you think that we hate you
Cajoles us more to stay
So put down your bricks and firebombs too
And come and let us talk
For only then will we combine
These two paths we both walk
When we can feel each other’s pain
And wear each other’s shoes
With Gods help we can heal our land
Please take our hand and get in the queue
