In Their Name – v2

We stand, we gather
as a people, a state,
we come together
to tell our leaders
in their name, Change
rethink these choices
Start over again

We must lift up our neighbors,
our sister, our brothers,
our parents, our neighbors
those we don’t yet know
all of them need us
to rise up and speak
to stand up for the least

We can do better
we can fix this
in their name we rise
We need your voices
stand up in love
to help our neighbors
all of us together
speaking out in protest
against these unconscionable cuts
