One People, One World, One Cause


One people, one world, one cause
Welcoming the dawn of a New Era
claiming our human and civil rights

One people, one world presents the hidden face
A silent voice, the face of humanity, one people
One world: one gathering: One cause; we’re
Standing up for justice_ equality for all

One people, one voice, organized and connected
proud:  loud and out! 

‘We the people_’ One 
humanity will touch lives:
across countries, 
boundaries- customs and
culture forging; 
forming new friendships, 
relationships

One people, one voice: Beneath the skin and mask 
We are the diverse face of humanity, shedding
years of sadness, sorrow, and grief; years of
pain, anger, degradation.

We live on the same planet: We are family.
son and daughter, father, mother, sister,
brother. 

We live in y
our community,
Shop in your stores.

We are pilots, e
ngineers, journalists, 
bankers, bakers, nurses, doctors;
lawyers. Builders, technicians, 
consultants, 

We work on W
all Street. 
Live on your street.

We are who we are: we were born this way
We’ve seen your face; we’ve heard enough
of the pedestal piety! We’ve seen the signs 
of hate, we’ve listened to your lies, your 
bias, bigotry, and hate

We’ve hidden and lied; asked_ begged
bled and died, now we stand together.

We will not be denied our presence,
happiness, or our well-being. 
Oh, no! Hell no. No more!
Enough is enough!

Equality is worth the stand
It's honorable, just, and
Right!
