WHEN CIVIL RIGHTS BELONG TO ALL Tune : When the Saints Go Marching In When civil rights belong to allWhen civil rights belong to allWe will make our nation betterWhen civil rights belong to all Now women’s rights are human rightsand racial rights are human rightsAll religions, ages, and genders:for them all we’re going to fight Our immigrants and refugees: we’ve got to listen to their pleas They have come here seeking refuge Let us treat them all kindly Treat everyone with dignityand let’s get free from bigotryLet us heal all forms of divisionLet’s have real equality Equality means everyoneIt means we leave behind no oneWe will end all forms of injusticeDignity for everyone! When we make peace with Mother Earthand when we stop abusing hershe’ll repay us with abundance:And we must allow re-birth When we make peace with everyoneand when we ban all bombs and gunswe will be the greatest winners’cause it’s peace we will have won In common good we must investThe good of all is what we stressWe all win, and nobody losesWe’re all blessed when all are blessed When every vote counts equally,And MAGA rule is historywe’ll have free and fair electionsWe’ll restore democracy
