SONGS

  • Lead With Love (Melanie DeMore)
    You’ve gotta put one foot in front of the other, and lead with love. (2x, chorus)
    Don’t give up hope, you’re not alone, don’t you give up, keep movin’ on.
    Lift up your eyes, don’t you despair, look up ahead, the path is there.
    I know you’re scared, and I’m scared too, but here I am, right next to you.
  • Phoenix Song
    We have been burned, burned by the fire
    And we are ashes, ashes and dust
    And we will rise, higher and higher
    On the wings of compassion, justice and love
  • Courage My friend
    Call & response: Courage, my friend.
    Together: You do not walk alone.

  • We Are
    We are, we are, we are together
    For love, for life, today and forever
  • People Gonna Rise
    People gonna rise like the water, we’re gonna face this crisis down.

    We’re gonna keep on loving boldly…
    We’re gonna show our children courage…
    We’re gonna keep on singing loudly…
  • We Shall Be Known (MaMuse)

    We shall be known by the company we keep
    by the ones who circle round to tend these fires

    We shall be known by the ones who sow and reap
    the seeds of change alive from deep within the earth

    It is time now
    It is time now that we thrive
    It is time we lead ourselves into the well
    It is time now, and what a time to be alive
    In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love
    In this great turning we shall learn to lead in love

  • Hope Lingers On (Low Lily / Lissa Schneckenburger)
    My mother, when love is gone
    My mother, when love is gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
    My father, when peace is gone

    I will not hate and I will not fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here
    My sister, when equality’s gone
    My sister, when equality’s gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
    My brother, with tolerance gone
    My brother, with tolerance gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
    I will not hate and I will not fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here
    My love, when honor is gone
    My love, when honor is gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
    My country, when justice is gone
    My country, when justice is gone, in our darkest hour, hope lingers on
    I will not and I will fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here
    I will not and I will fear, in our darkest hour, hope lingers here
  • This Joy (Resistance Revival Chorus)
    This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it to me (4x)
    The world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away
    This strength that I have, the world didn’t give it to me (4x)
    The world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away
    This love that I have, the world didn’t give it to me (4x)
    This world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away
    This pride that I have, the world didn’t give it to me (4x)
    The world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away
    This peace that I have, the world didn’t give it to me (4x)
    The world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away
    This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it to me (4x)
    The world didn’t give it, the world can’t take it away
