Speak

When they came for the trans

I shruged and sometimes cheered along

When they came for Immigrants

I chanted, 'Good, you should all go home!'

(Chorus)

Ohhh, it's not too late

But you keep on waiting

They say its not too late

But you keep on dancing

When they came for the gays and activists

I saw friends disappear

We didn't agree, but they had rights

They should have been in the clear

(Chorus)

Ohhhh its not too late

But you keep on waiting

They say its not too late

But you keep on dancing

Then they came knocking on my younger cousin's door,

She had posted about needing health care for her very ill mom

Someone thought it critical of the long-time president

So men had come to take her somewhere far away

To place the say would help to remind her of what she's allowed to say

I don't speak out this time

Even if she's done no crime

Because I have seen the price one pays for speaking these day

(Bridge)

Oh, it's not too late

But you keep on waiting

They say its not too late

But you keep on dancing

They say we have a chance to save the places we all love

But you... but you... ohhh you

You still aren't listening

(Chorus)

Ohhhh its not too late

But you keep on waiting

They say its not too late

But you keep on dancing
