Subject: Lyr Add: WE THE PEOPLE (from Schooner Fare)
From: GUEST,Bill Kennedy

A GREAT SONG! this should be in the DT, and is singable at any and every street demonstration coming up in DC or elswhere. From Schooner Fare's lp of 1985 called 'We the People', cd released in 1988, & on a live recording at 'Milwaukee Irish Festival' in the 90's:

WE THE PEOPLE
Words and Music by Steve Romanoff

We the people, hand in hand,
We, the people, understand,
That there's an answer, there's a way,
We, the people, have to say,
So, send the orders to prepare,
We, the people, do declare,
Send the good news, send the word,
We, the people, will be heard,
We, the people, everywhere.

There's a message in the air,
And it's a'movin' across the land,
If you listen you can hear it well, my friend,
we know the time has come
To take our heads out of the sand,
'Cause if we don't the chance might never come again,
The future is in reason,
Not in building ways of war,
And the time has come for reason to be heard,
The purpose of the people
Is what this declaration's for,
And it's why our fathers told us word for word...

chorus

We won't accept excuses,
And we won't accept the lies,
Of those who'd lead our nations into hell,
It's time to call their bluff,
To say to them, enough's enough,
It's time we all could hear the tolling of the bell,
It's time to feed the hungry,
And it's time to heal the pain,
And it's time to beat our weapons into plows,
It's time to hear the voices that have risen once again,
It's the wisdom of the people clear and loud,
Singing proud...

chorus

and not ever to be confused with the Billy Ray Cyrus song of the same title used in Bush's campaign
