A Republic – If You Can Keep It

“A Republic – If You Can Keep It.”

Lyrics: Sheila Plotkin, Kathy Miner for the Raging Grannies of Madison

Tunes: Auld Lang Syne & We Shall Not Be Moved

Should our Constitution be forgot

A-and never brought to mind?

Its framers’ efforts come to naught

Democracy declined?

To keep it or to let it go?

That choice is ours to make,

Generations whom we’ll never know

Will walk the path we take.

Our path must follow freedom’s light.

We-e will not kneel or cow’r.

This profound ideal is worth the fight.

It’s the people who have pow’r.

Speak out in one voice, strong and clear,

Renew our sacred vow.

For everything that we hold dear,

We are the guardrails now

Quick transition to “We Shall Not Be Moved”:

Pay attention, we’re the guardrails now.

Did we mention, we’re the guardrails now.

We have the power to rescue our democracy.

We are the guardrails now!
