about

The great Lawrence Baker adds some beautiful harmony vocals throughout this song.

This is dedicated to Ana Maria Achila, Maria Gallagher, and all of us who are still here fighting for our democracy

lyrics

Trying to get up and get out to the street
Putting one foot in front of the other with the pavement under our
feet
You say to stay quiet put it back on the shelf
But these are roads you’ve never walked yourself

Don't look away
Don't tell me it doesn't matter
We're still here making a sound
Every day though everything seems shattered
We’re lifting the bricks up off the ground

The snow’s coming down trying to keep us inside
They’ll say it’s our fault then they’ll tell us to hide
But with a stranger’s smile with a helping hand
We’re marching on to start again

Don't look away
Don't tell me it doesn't matter
We're still here making a sound
Every day though everything seems shattered
We’re lifting the bricks up off the ground

We’re still here
We don’t need a wall
We’re still here
We’re holding the elevator
We’re still here
Turn the planes back around, they can’t keep us down
We’re still here
And we’re not going away
