Wo-oke” just means awake

to how bias makes

its way into the

things we say

into things we say al-most ev’r-y day!

Mo-ost of us

have not had to think

about how words can

affect o-thers who

o-thers who may be-e L G B T Q !

Wo-oke”s a good thing to be

It means that I real-ly

care a-bout

ev‘ry-one I see…..

in-clud-ing those who are diff’rent from me!

same tune as last line-> WOKE“S A GOOD THING TO B-E-E-E !

(very slow and distinctly)
