CHOOSE THE DREAM
Verse
How will we tell our children
that we stood by in silence
and watched our history erased
Jobs replaced
never coming back again, never coming back again
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel that
The weight of all we're losing
Do you hear that
The sound of no one choosing, sound of no one choosing
The sound of no one choosing, no one choosing
We have a choice use your voice
Before the promise gets erased
Chorus:
Choose the dream — before the promise fades
Choose the dream — our rights are not just words on a page
Choose the dream — it's the only thing
That keeps our world together — whatever
Verse
The cost of silence is way too high
a truth we cannot deny
Don't be an accomplice
Speak up, speak out
it's still our right
Don't wait too late
our right to speak
is being taken away
everyday
Pre-Chorus
Do you feel that
The weight of all we're losing
Do you hear that
The sound of no one choosing, sound of no one choosing
The sound of no one choosing, no one choosing
Bridge
Children going unfed and
the threat of couples being unwed
the arts are being tossed, hope is being lost
Health care, welfare, research, all diminshed
overnight
where are our rights, Right
We have a choice use your voice
before the promise gets erased
Chorus
Choose The Dream
Choose the dream
it's the only thing
That keeps our world together
Whatever
