We Are Marching today we are marching buoyant resolved formidable in our strength united a multitude wending our way through the campus over bridges along Broadway to the courthouse our eyes flash fierce clear what do we want? always justice! when do we want it? always now! our hearts are pinned to our chests here we stand and move we will move sweep you along into our current make you dare to hope, too dare to see another way dare to ask why not and what would you want? always justice! always now! we rattle our signs and raise our fists flash smiles and thumbs-ups at each car that lays on its horn - they want it, too, for a moment they want it enough to be counted, too, to stand, too, even while disappearing into the distance on their more practical way most of us have marched before stood for something else before had our hopes trampled before but here we are still shouting still hoping still resolved to count still believing there must one day be justice even if not just now. |
