From the recording Time Again For Marching
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">My wife Martha and I went to the Women’s March in Washington on Saturday, January 21<sup>st </sup> in 2017. I found the atmosphere to be electric – simultaneously disruptive and reassuring. (And yes, Mr. Trump, the crowd on Saturday was bigger than the inauguration crowd the day before!) I was reminded of the many times that Americans have headed for the streets to gather as allies, to call for justice, to make democracy a reality. Regardless of how you assess the present, reestablishing a measure of balance is going to “take more than just one protest.” </span></p>

Lyrics
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">It was time again for marching, time for speaking truth to power;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Demonstrators filling up the streets hour after hour.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">It was time again to bear witness, to raise concerns and sound alarms;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Half a million kindred spirits linking arm to arm.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">To show up, to draw attention,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Many traveled through the night –</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">To stand and to be counted,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">To stake a claim for all our rights.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Time for marching!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Women called for “Bread & Roses” in the Lawrence strike of 1912 –</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Union workers side by side to protect themselves.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">And women at the White House calling for the right to vote –</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Sentinels at the gates and unafraid to rock the boat.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Selma to Montgomery –</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">D.C. Dream March ’63 –</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">It took Kent State, Free Speech in Berkley,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">To make a dent in history.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Time for marching!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">It will take more than just one protest.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">March until your battle’s won!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Wrap your anger inside a slogan:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">“Love, don’t hate!” “Keep the faith.” “We shall overcome!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Time for marching!</span></p>
