Date Written or Updated: 2/4/2026

Do you hear the women sing?
We who will not be fooled again?
The old will join hands with the young in standing for the country’s pain!
When the whistles blow so shrill
Protester drums will not be still
Truth will finally rule the day now the time has come!

They cannot take our voting rights!
Cannot take our neighbor’s wife!
Cannot cancel who we love!
Cannot erase our very life!
They cannot ignore all our voices joined up in this strife!

Our constitution will be restored
And their police state will dissolve
Cruel tyranny will not stand up to the people’s firm resolve
When we stand together to sing
Once again will Freedom ring
Truth will finally rule the day now the time has come!

Candled vigils light the sky
For stolen lives and immigrant hands
Mothers of the earth cry out
To restore their stolen lands
Raise your voices to make sure they hear and that they understand!

Do you hear the women sing?
We who will not be fooled again?
The old will join hands with the young in standing for the country’s pain!
When the whistles blow so shrill
Protester drums will not be still
Truth will finally rule the day now the time has come!
