Strange Love

Intro [Rep. Maureen Walsh]
I think to myself, how could I deny anyone
The right to have an incredible bond with another individual in life
To me it seems almost cruel

Verse 1 [A-natural]
Fingers intertwined like a rope of the thickest thread
Married to the choice that they’d fight or they’d end up dead
Odds been stacking up since their first loving words were said
And they’ve been knocking down
And they’ve been knocking down
And they’ve been knocking down

Hook [A-natural]
We’re fighting for a strange, strange love
So strange it’ll make or break us
And it doesn’t matter
We’ll pay em with dust
(And it don’t mean a thing)
Let the anthem ring
For a strange love

Break [Rep. Maureen Walsh]
She was speaking against the vocal majority
On behalf of the rights of the minority
It is incumbent upon us as legislators in this state to do that
That is why we are here

Verse 2 [A-natural]
Nothing heals the wounds of a war like the greatest love
They’ve got many scars just to prove all what they’re made of
Run and tell the rest there’s no need to hide anymore
We’ll let the bombs fall down
We’ll let the bombs fall down
We’ll let the bombs fall down

Hook [A-natural]
We’re fighting for a strange, strange love
(Yes we are, yes we are)
So strange it’ll make or break us
And it doesn’t matter
We’ll pay em with dust
(And it don’t mean a thing)
Let the anthem ring
For a strange love

Break [Rep. Maureen Walsh]
And I shudder to think
That if folks who have preceded us in history
Did not do that, frankly I'm not sure if I would be here as a woman
I'm not sure other people would be here due to their race
Or their creed
Someone made the comment that this is not about equality
Well yes it is about equality
And why in the world would we not allow those equal rights
To be granted to those individuals who are truly committed to one another in life
To be able to show that by way of a marriage

Hook [A-natural]
We’re fighting for a strange, strange love
So strange it’ll make or break us
(It'll make or break us down)
And it doesn’t matter
We’ll pay em with dust
(And it don’t mean a thing, yeah)
Let the anthem ring
(Let it ring)
For a strange love
(For a strange love baby)
