The winds of change are blowin' can you hear 'em comin' down.
There was summer to remember our voices had come so far
For some it may seem like it was overnight just like a shooting star
It's been decades in the making on the backs of those long gone.
For those of remaining there is a power and voice within this song
Hey......

Chorus:
Brothers in arms and sister soldiers can you see the light of the sun
Though our path has widened, our work has just begun
Brothers in arms and sister soldiers a new day has finally dawned
Unity is for you and me equality one day can be for everyone
Hey......

I have tasted heavy metal, in a high school locker or two
I had a friend who was twice as teased she was a dyke and a jew
And then there was Michael, his catholic church said he was just a sin,
well the boy took his life one summer night, too overwhelmed at 17 to see his gay young life begin.

The rumors are disappearing and the lies have run their course
We won't be pushed to the outside, no, no matter what the force
We are doctors, lawyers and artist we are mothers and fathers too, we serve our country and we pray to God
Just like everyday regular people do.
Well can you sing with me

(chorus repeat)

It's time to take the hatred and fear and put that all to bed
Understand we are different yet that same embrace one love instead.
We have come so far past the point of no return
There's nothing to fear only people to love
Yet with so much more to learn
Stand and be counted

(chorus repeat)
