We Are the People (All Around the World)

Power to the people

We won’t be stopped

We will unify!

Are you ready?

Let’s go!

I’ve been thinking to myself

About the grace of being grown

Watching children in the streets

Spanning continents and time zones

Been off teaching babies

Seek the knowledge, do the work

They killed my mentee in the streets (I love you, Brandon Harrison)

It still hurts

Mother Moon whispers

If we really stop and listen

Practice breathing as a prayer

My cheeks, they glisten

For babies in cages

And families crossing borders

If you support this president

Then you are out of order

See, you picked a side

You can’t stand on mine

You are a risk to my existence

We’re not the same kind

You would never die for the people

I’m a woman of the people

We will never be equal

We, we are the people

Fighting for justice every day

We, as long as we’re breathing

We won’t be leaving, never no way

And let the children say,

We want, we want justice!

We want, we want our children to thrive!

We want, we want justice!

We want, we want our children to thrive!

Rise and Resist

You can feel it in my kiss

I tell the babies that they’re magic

‘Cuz it’s difficult to live

I mean, politicians lie

Education’s warfare

The planet is on fire

And, I care

Bodies are still dropping

From the bullets of oppressors

Police are still corrupt

Causing worldwide depression

But isolation’s dangerous

For no child’s less important

Fuck white supremacists!

I’m yelling out, “Deport them!”

We, we are the people

Fighting for justice every day

We, as long as we’re breathing

We won’t be leaving, never no way

And let the children say,

We want, we want justice!

We want, we want our children to thrive!

We want, we want justice!

We want, we want our children to thrive!

All around the world

All around the world

All around the world

We the people, we the people, we the people

All around the world

We the people, we the people, we the people

All around the world

We the people, we the people, we the people

All around the world

We the people, we the people, we the people

We, we are the people

Fighting for justice every day

We, as long as we’re breathing

We won’t be leaving, never no way

And let the children say,

We want, we want justice!

We want, we want our children to thrive!

We want, we want justice!

We want, we want our children to thrive!
