Peace Now, Peace Now, Peace Now, Peace Now!

We are gathered here, we come from so many different places
From different identities, different cultures
Different backgrounds different religions
And yet we can gather, under the guides of peace....now...
Peace now!

"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!
"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!
"We say no to war!"
Peace up, war down!

"We made it. We're here. We're here right now and we're not leaving."

Now I feel you, I feel you people
Now I feel you, I feel you people
Now I feel you, I feel you people
Now I feel you, I feel you people
Now I feel you, I feel you....

"Now, we have reports that more and more people are just taking on-ramps onto the bridge and are just taking it over.. it's just...just..."

"I mean, i'm just like..ahh!"

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!

"Reports from protests from Amman, Jordan... Amsterdam... and Beirut, Lebanon... Dili, East Timor... Florence, Italy... London... Milano, Italy... Paris, France
Dozens of cities in Spain... Reports in Athens, Georgia... Austin, Texas... Blacksburg, Virginia... Charleston, South Carolina... Colorado Springs and Defiance, Ohio... Denver, Colorado as well as Durango... Geneva, New York and Houston, Texas... Hyannis, Massachussetts... In Hawaii as well...
Lawrence, Kansas... Los Angeles, California... AND I AM ONLY NAMING A FEW!"

Peace...now! Peace...now!

And as Eleanor Roosevelt said...
"It isn't enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it. It isn't enough to believe in it, one must work at it"
And we here today are working at it!

"Peace is possible, and even necessary. So drop the sword, pick up the hammer and the saw. And let's build a better world!"

No blood for oil!
We will not be violent!
No blood for oil!
We will not be violent!
No blood for oil!

"We will not go to war, for a selected president, who wasn't even elected!"

We must stand unbroken, unbowed, and unashamed
We need healthcare!
We need education!
We need freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!
Freedom in this nation!

"Thousands of people have taken over 3rd Avenue and are marching North. The crowd stretches at least 15 blocks from 44th street to 59th Street
The police have just simply... given up."

This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!
This is what democracy looks like!
This is what democracy sounds like!

Peace now
Peace now
(repeated behind next lines)
"We will not sell out!
We will not back down!
We will not compromise!
We will go forward
Until peace is on the world agenda!"

I started to feel that there were no more heroes in the World
But Today, I see all the World's heroes standing before me

"We say no to war!"
No war!
"We say no to war!"
No war!
"We say no to war!"
No war!
