Two Songs

We Are One

Long Road

[audio link]

(Chorus)
It’s been a long road to get to here
We’ve got a long road yet to go
It’s been a long road to get to here
We’ve got a long road still to go

Calling on Wisconsin
Have you been to Madison?
Did you hear about Ohio?
Have you been to Benton Harbor?

You know their standing up
In New York City
Did you hear what happened,
In San Diego?

Can you hear the bell?
Can you hear it ringing?
Voices of freedom
They just won’t stop singing
In this place, we, call America

Calling on Martin,
Calling on Rosa,
Calling on Cesar,
We know you are still there

Calling on Frederick
And every word he spoke
We know you’re with us and
We know you still care

Can you hear the bell?
Can you hear it ringing?
Voices of freedom
They just won’t stop singing
In this place, we, call, America

(Chorus)

Calling on Woody
Calling on Pete
Joe Hill, Big Bill
Yes, the river does run deep

Calling on Matewan
Calling on Flint
Fisher Plant one
And a message built to keep

(Refrain, Chorus)

—Joe "Pepe" Oulahan, Milwaukee, WI
