Light The Fire

It’s not enough if they just let us be
We’ve got to take some liberties
We’ve got to raise our voices for equality

It isn’t easy and it’s taking some time
Sacrifices are made right down the line
But our pain can be soothed away by equality

And it’s hard to fight if you’re all alone
But through unity our strength will grow
As we strive for a time of equality

We can find power in our common cause
As we break the mould and change some laws
And light the torch of equality

Fight the fight light the fire
A million voices and our flame gets higher

We’ve been oppressed throughout history
We were first to go in Hitler’s Germany
We must fight the fight for equality

Access, education, jobs and homes
The right to live together or live alone
We’ve got a right to demand our equality

And it’s hard to fight if you’re all alone
But through unity our strength will grow
As we strive for a time of equality
We can find power in our common cause
As we break the mould and change some laws
And light the torch of equality

Fight the fight light the fire
A million voices and our flame gets higher
Braille more books, sign the news
Ramp the steps, have a right to choose
Fan the flames of equality.
