Get Up, Stand Up, March, Vote!! - tgr ------------------------------------------------------------- Oh No… (Listen to me now) Let’s go to the park and play for a while Hang out with family enjoy all the smiles Laugh at the jokes, embrace all the love What a wonderful gift, time, sent from above It’s nice to see all your friends hanging out, too This festival of love is what it’s come to People from all over have traveled today To help us enjoy this harvest this day It’s nice to see how we gather and play Community love of the town where we stay But, suddenly everyone’s running away People are dying from bullets today … Oh no, oh no Oh no … Oh no, no, no … God Bless You, Gilroy Oh no … Oh no, no, no This is the time of our lives to rejoice Young and hard-working – now let’s make some noise Night time's right time for Dayton’s young ones The clubs, the arcades, the dancing, the fun Working all week it’s time to get out We’ll meet up with friends and wander around Which place to hang out, or maybe outside A wonderful time to be alive It’s a clear night and everyone’s here Friends meeting friends – laughter and cheer Suddenly, everyone’s running and falling People are dying – another psycho came calling oh no, oh no Oh no … Oh no, no, no … God Bless You, Dayton. Oh no, Oh no no no Out in a West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with the Mexican people Hard working, fun loving always so nice It’s hard not to figure out the people inside So close to the border of Old Mexico People cross daily to shop and then go to Cielo Vista the mall they embraced They love all the shops brings a smile to their faces The unthinkable, it happens again People are running – and dying - again A lone gunman comes from nine hours away To shoot all the brown ones, to make "America great …" Oh no … Oh no … God Bless You, El Paso Get Up, Stand Up, March, Vote!! Get Up, Stand Up, March, Vote!! Get Up, Stand Up, March, Vote!! Get Up, Stand Up, March, Vote!! You need to keep on Walking that, walking that road Don’t stumble or, stumble or fall Life is not, life is not over Life will go, life will go on A new day, a new day is dawning And you will be, you will be stronger If you keep walking that, walking that road Till the grey skies, the grey skies are gone (Written, Produced, Arranged & Performed by Tomás)
