lyrics

I heard it on the news today
Freedom takes a holiday
She packed her things and moved away
Somewhere that there’s more than just rain

Momma called me just to say
Now is not the time to pray
Everybody’s so afraid
So maybe we get brave today

Oh oh oh oh
This song’s our weapon tonight
Oh oh oh oh
We’re bringing love to a gunfight
Oh oh oh oh
Sometimes it hurts when you try to do right
Oh oh oh oh
We’ll bringing love to a gunfight

We’ll build a wall arm and arm
Dressed in pink on the boulevard
they try to stop us every foot and yard
It don’t matter , on and on we’ll march

We stand up and step out of line
Break law when love’s a crime
And peace is the way we fight
In the summer night – singing…

Chorus

And we’ll be singing
And we’ll be singing yeah…

Mamma called me just to say
Now is not the time to pray
Everybody’s so afraid
Maybe we get brave today

This song’s our weapon tonight
We’re bringing love to a gunfight
Yes we are
