The theme of our third song battle (as legally distinct from ~Adam & Joe’s Song Wars~) was “Hymn”.Here’s my impossibly earnest effort.
Lyrics
Take my hand, I’m holding on
Take my weight to lean upon
Take my words and take my deeds
They will always be the best of me
And when you feel afraid
Mistreated and betrayed
I’ll never judge you
‘Cos we can
We can
We can survive
We can
We can
We can survive
When your dead name follows you
We will call you what you want us to
They may take away your rights
We will never let them win the fight
You may not look like me
May see things differently
But I’m on your side
‘Cause we can
We can
We can survive
We can
We can
We will survive
You’ll hear all the discussion and context for the songs in an upcoming episode of ~Convergence~.
