Alphabet Music Meme - P is for People

P is for people – When the People Speak, Dougie MacLean (Marching Mystery)

This could have been the anthem for the recent Canadian election, or even seven years earlier, the 2008 U.S. presidential election. I do hope freedom fares better for my Northern neighbors than it has here.

For too long we've heard them laughing at our dreams
Ridicule our reasons, and blind ignoring what it means
For too long we have believed the walls they made
But now we see a shining light and we are not afraid

When the people speak it's not with corporate lies
It's not with indecision no or academic bows and ties
When the people speak it thunders through these hills
It's not a thing that's mild and meek
When the people speak

There's a fear that's made to keep us in our place
Pacify our anger and justify our fool disgrace
There's a fear made to destroy and to degrade
But now we see a shining light and we are not afraid
