#protest #acousticonetake My daughter recently very intentionally and thoughtfully participated in a school walk out protest, saying we need to be protecting people who are in danger. Proud of her standing up for what she believes in, as well as my brother feeding his neighbors and so many others helping in so many ways. I was playing around with some drumming and keeping a beat while singing here... it's definitely a work in progress but seemed like the right vibe for this song.

My child out marching in the snow Holding signs to make ice go Crowded field of students stand To bring freedom to this land

May you be bold And not too cold May you be safe from harm As you raise alarm May your voice ring out May the whole nation shout

Let freedom ring Let all voices sing To a new day And let love light the way

My child feeding strangers in the night Sharing food to spread the light Just one voice among the rest Each just trying to do their best

May you be bold And not too cold May you be safe from harm As you raise alarm May your voices ring out May the whole nation shout

Let freedom ring Let all voices sing To a new day And let love light the way Let freedom ring Let all voices sing To a new day And let love light the way

Let there be love Let there be love Let there be love Let mercy fall from above Let there be love
