lyrics

Will you vote for the anchor or the sail? Must we stand our ground or can we let the winds prevail? What might building a better world for our children entail? Will you vote for the anchor or the sail? We mustn't go hungry because of where we live while pullings extra shifts, still scared for our kids. We work harder for less while the corporations profit. We privatize their gains and socialize their losses. Is it kindness or profit when their motives unveil? Freedom means nothing if we can't all be free — if we mortgage lovingkindness or block grant dignity. We can't circumscribe the types of love allowed if we ever want to live with our heads unbowed. Do we dare make policy and not decency avail? Our legacy must be to win hearts and not wars and suffering and cruelty no longer ignore. If we teach our kids nuance and kindness to strangers we'll leave them a future no longer endangered. Can we open our hearts and our bigotries curtail? Compassion can move mountains if we don't get in its way with conspiracies and distrust, divisiveness and hate. It's not just tilting at windmills — we can still recover. We can be great again if we love one another.
