about

Written as a call to action and a beginning of hopefully something larger.

lyrics

It’s a start to say all the names out loud
Softly by yourself or marching in a crowd
Its a start to curse the heavens for sending storm clouds
It’s a start, don’t let it end there

it’s a start to realize there’s no help from above
and sometimes nothing happens without a shove
but nothing’s gonna work unless its done with love
it’s a start, don’t let it end there

Change the world and you’ll change too
All together there’s nothing we can’t do
Oh I want to believe that….Oh I need to believe that

Its a start to try to list everything that’s wrong
To pursue the path of justice, no matter how long
To bring people together in a mighty song
It’s a start, don’t let it end there

it’s a start knowing when to push or pull
to hold all of us accountable
go up against odds that seem insurmountable
it’s a start, don’t let it end there
