We are gentle angry people
We are gentle angry people
And we are singing, singing for our lives (x2)
We are a land of many colors
We are young and old together
We are an anti-nuclear people
We are gay and straight together
We are gentle loving people

March
The Spanish lyrics mean - hey yo, my people we
bring the strength. Liberation for all is our only flag.
Oye mi gente traemos la fuerza
La libertad es mi única bandera
Rise up my people, my condors, my eagles
No human being will ever be illegal
Stand up! Speak out! Stay Strong!
Call: "Show me what democracy looks like!" Response: "This is what democracy looks like!"
"Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Donald Trump has got to go!"
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York island,
From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
America (My Country 'tis of Thee)
My country, 'tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let Freedom ring.
Call: Rise up proud, don’t look away!
Response: We make history every day!
Call: No crown needed, just our voice!
Response: We the people make the choice!
Call: Power’s ours, we light the way!
Response: This is our No Kings Day!
(sing-song marching cadence)
Call: I DON’T KNOW BUT I’VE BEEN TOLD
ECHO: I DON’T KNOW BUT I’VE BEEN TOLD
