WHEN CIVIL RIGHTS BELONG TO ALL
         Tune : When the Saints Go Marching In
  
When civil rights belong to all
When civil rights belong to all
We will make our nation better
When civil rights belong to all
  
Now women’s rights are human rights
and racial rights are human rights
All religions, ages, and genders:
for them all we’re going to fight
 
Our immigrants and refugees:
we’ve got to listen to their pleas
They have come here seeking refuge
Let us treat them all kindly
  
Treat everyone with dignity
and let’s get free from bigotry
Let us heal all forms of division
Let’s have real equality
  
Equality means everyone
It means we leave behind no one
We will end all forms of injustice
Dignity for everyone!
  
When we make peace with Mother Earth
and when we stop abusing her
she’ll repay us with abundance:
And we must allow re-birth
   
When we make peace with everyone
and when we ban all bombs and guns
we will be the greatest winners
’cause it’s peace we will have won
  
In common good we must invest
The good of all is what we stress
We all win, and nobody loses
We’re all blessed when all are blessed
  
When every vote counts equally,
And MAGA rule is history
we’ll have free and fair elections
We’ll restore democracy
