There's a man who won the White House
Who makes people live in fear
There's an angry woman saying,
"certain facts are different here".
A press secretary slanders
all that's good and all that's true
And I cannot help but wonder,
"what's the worst that they will do?"
Words becoming warfare
being used by the elite
grabbing pussies, dating daughters,
building walls and typing tweets.
There's a man who threatens millions,
he is racist and uncouth,
we tried our best but didn't beat him
in the voting booth.
Fears and tribulations
are visceral and real
it's going to take a good long time
before these wounds can heal.
Immigrants are terrorized,
people of color admonished,
there are those who seem to want
marriage equality and abortion abolished.
Our nation is divided,
and this way we cannot stand,
this isn't what we call for,
this isn't where we'll land.
There is trouble in this country,
foreheads furrowed, eyebrows arched,
we question and we combat,
still you wonder why we march.
I'm marching for our future,
I am marching for the truth,
for posterity, for dignity,
glass ceilings smashing through the roof.
I'm marching for the women,
for the men, the boys, the girls,
and everyone who's in between,
hair in hijab or ethnic curls.
I march for all Americans,
for peace and hope and light,
it's not malicious, not absurd,
it's how we'll win the fight.
For the good of our whole nation,
for the red, the white, the blue,
and even if you disagree,
I'm marching for you too.
