Band Members: Songs for the PeopleLET me make the songs for the people,
Songs for the old and young;
Songs to stir like a battle-cry
Wherever they are sung.Not for the clashing of sabres,
For carnage nor for strife;
But songs to thrill the hearts of human
With more abundant life.Let me make the songs for the weary,
Amid life's fever and fret,
Till hearts shall relax their tension,
And careworn brows forget.Let me sing for little children,
Before their footsteps stray,
Sweet anthems of love and duty,
To float o'er life's highway.I would sing for the poor and caged,
When injustice dim their sight;
For the LGBTQ, and the keepers of age
We rage, and love, to save, together we fightOur world, so warn and weary,
Needs music, pure and strong,
To hush the jangle and discords
Of sorrow, pain, and wrong.Music to soothe all its sorrow,
Till war and crime shall cease;
And the hearts of human grown tender
Girdle the world with peace.
