The Soapbox Salute

Lyrics

Run away, run away just like you have been.
Run away from the things you don’t want to hear.
That have eaten away at you.

Put your head in the sand so you can’t see the pain.
Plug your ears, hold your breath, it’s what we are swimming in.
It has taken our humanity.

Break down these walls
in your mind
that are keeping you from seeing what’s going on.
Join the fight
stand for right
step back and let another shine their light.

All the lies told as fact so you can’t see the difference.
So the truth when it’s told it makes your skin crawl.
You must have your reckoning.

Break down these walls
in your mind
that are keeping you from seeing what’s going on.
Join the fight
stand for right
step back and let another shine their light.

Run away. Run away just like you have been.
Run away from the things you don’t want to hear.
That have eaten away at you.

Break down these walls
in your mind
that are keeping you from seeing what’s going on.
Join the fight
stand for right
step back and let another shine their light.

Break down these walls
in your mind
that are keeping you from seeing what’s going on.
Join the fight
stand for right
Let all black women,
all trans people,
all oppressed people shine their light.
