Do you know me, that person you don’t see

The teacher, the social worker, the EMT, that’s me

I am that strand in the social safety net

That now broken bet

Sadly,, Time for all us to fret

Cause it ain’t about us, we are all on a broke down bus

Crashing towards a future wall

Where there will be nobody to call

Oh, my country tis of thee, broken US

Sadly,, Time for all us to fret

But in our coffee shops, on our playing fields

We connect one by one in conversation

Building a community web of caring people

Every gathering place can be a church without a steeple

No more sadly, we fight madly,

Vote by vote, with women in the lead

Will move us a step forward

No more sadly, we fight madly

Civically engaged — gladly.
