lyrics

He said ‘don’t get lost in a sea of despair’
The struggle’s not a day a month or a year
Sometimes you need to make a little good trouble
To get folks to move outside of their bubble

Good trouble, is the kind
that benefits all humankind
good trouble, will redeem
the soul of a nation when we dare to dream

on the Edmund Pettis bridge in 1965
marching to keep freedom alive
beaten within an inch of his life
but non-violent resistance is a much sharper knife

Good trouble, is the kind
that benefits all humankind
good trouble, will redeem
the soul of a nation when we dare to dream

the Edmund Pettis bridge, let us rename
for the soul of a man, and his undying flame
John Lewis, a giant among men
When will we see his like again, I don’t know when
