Wondering what we would do 

If we could all get together

From Two

To become One

 

As Children of the same Sun

Life and love is what we 

would have in common

Never letting our love die

 

We come together 

Underneath One sky

Surrounded by the One ocean

Of Space

 

This battle we fight is revolution 

Of Human Grace

Never Sever our Tie

 

Together we achieve victory

With our whole lives

 

Just like yours

We want ours

We do not take it from you

There is room for all to do

What the god of our Universe

Intended

 

Making sure that Right

Is to everyone extended

We pursue happiness 

Not devastation

Fusion not Fission

Our Mission

 

In this life to see all peoples

Free merely to be

To exist as you already do

Beside me

 

How can I refuse someone 

That courtesy

Blessed we be to know

That nature made you the same as me

 

As you climb up

There ain’t no reason

To tear others down

I was born here

Flying the flag of freedom 

For my first sound

 

The most wonderful voices

In this country’s history

Never dismissed me

They told me

I should respect all colors and creeds

 

The seeds we sow of love

Are the mighty oaks we need

To stand firm and resolved

 

To be together

No matter what they say

Be with us

Unify don’t deny

 

No matter whether laws stand

Or fall

“Together” must be the joy of All

 

We’re not asking

To have the ability to hurt you

We’re not pushing

To tear you apart

We’re not saying

You have to lose what you have

We’re asking you to add

Not subtract

 

To master a math of Love

-Which I Know for a fact

is the One Law given to you

from up above

 

I have to ask those oppose unity:

What are you afraid of?

 

The house you live in will still stand

The music you listen to will still be available on the FM band

Your coffee will still rest firmly in your hand

Starbucks will still charge you the same 

If Patrick and Tom have a piece of paper

Entitling them to share a name

The President for you

Will still be the President for us

I know you understand

 

The world will still have war

Unfortunately

We’ll all still have taxes to pay 

And still be worried about social security

Gasoline won’t be affected 

If the same sex get connected

 

And if their wish is to kiss

Don’t worry

With their Cooties you won’t be 

Infected 

The television will still have Idol on 

But Clay won’t have to say he’s not gay 

Just to sing a song

 

If you think civilization will crumble 

Because Dahlia loves Antoinette 

Then you may not get what Love means yet 

 

You can still expect the Sun to come up 

And Good Morning America to be on 

While you fill your cup

You favorite sports they will still play 

And you still won’t know who’s on steroids

Or who’s gay

 

You can still walk the street to your beat 

Still eat your favorite meal in your favorite seat

Ain’t much about your life is gonna change

If He and He and She and She

Decide a marriage to arrange

 

I guess Vegas may boom if we make room 

For two more on the aisle

-Maybe some of that money will come 

to Californ-I-A and then you can delay

the budget crisis that will still be here 

for awhile

 

This is

If you can just step back

So you can see the light of 

Two Humans with a smile

 

I have an unbeatable argument for those who don’t agree:

I will tell them

Buddha said “Love”

I will tell them

Jesus said “Love”

I will tell them

Mohammed said “Love”

I will tell them

God said “Love”

I will tell them

The Constitution says “Equal”

 

You can’t tell me that you can see 

Two people on the street 

And know what makes their hearts and minds complete

You can’t tell me their union will touch you in the least

That somehow your life will go down in defeat if they meet

 

We’re not going to hurt you

If we walk a few feet down a path

Don’t be afraid, don’t let fear drive you

Away from your Sons and Daughters

Your Sisters and Brothers

 

We know all of you went through Hell and high water 

To see slaves free

To bring the vote to Her and me

Give us a chance to go further down that path

 

How can you justify refusing

Karen and Kerry their own love note?

 

We must remember that we gather here

Today to be Together

And together we should go in Peace

The best fight we can make against those who seek to separate in this State

 

Is to continue to get together

To continue to love one another

To unify and connect on our own 

To find a name for our cause 

So as not to disturb their precious zone

 

We don’t need a gavel and a robe 

To tell us how to love

You just keep reaching for the hand of another

You show them what it means to be a lover

You raise your children to be tolerant and understanding

And one day they will 

Be demanding

Recognition of the love of two people

For each other

Two people equal to all others

 

‘cause we ain’t done here

We will erase all fear

We will bring all people near

We will celebrate this obstacle for what it is

An opportunity to create everlasting love

For all those we hold dear.
