Lyrics or Keywords

We are a gentle, angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives

We are a justice-seeking people
And we are singing, singing for our lives

We are young and old together
And we are singing, singing for our lives

We are a land of many colors
And we are singing, singing for our lives

We are gay and straight together
And we are singing, singing for our lives

We are a gentle, loving people
And we are singing, singing for our lives
