Democracy
Now
By Halbert Katzen
(chorus)
Peace is
something more than the absence of war
Saying what we're against, isn't saying what we're for
If we work together, we can work it out somehow
Let's stand for democracy now.
(verses)
Democracy is all about the people
Democracy is not about the land
So let's show our unity as one big family
Politically
living hand-in-hand
Economy is
different than democracy
With democracy we don't have to think the same
Competition and sharing are both a part of caring
With balance we'll bring justice to the game
King and
Gandhi proved what is possible
Winning hearts and minds can happen fast
We only need to start and for each to play their part
To bring about a peace that will last
It's the
ultimate in voter registration
We've got the ways and means to get it done
With the internet you'll note, we can verify the vote
It’s bold and new, but destine once begun
When we create
global democracy
No one group will have the final say
Like the rainbow above, there's a spectrum to our love
That will triumph as we build a better day
