Where Were You When The Sun Went Down?

Where were you when the sun went down?
Did you vote did you make a sound?
Did you say “what’s the use “
Did you say “it’s old news “
As the sun went down?

Where were you when the sun went down?
Did you hope or just wear a frown?
Did you stand in a line
Were you strong in your mind
As the sun went down?

Did you say we should all have a voice
Did you vote women having a choice
Did you vote for the safety of kids in our schools?

Did you vote that any public space
No matter who we are should always be safe
Did you say that no one should solely rule?

Where were you when the sun went down?
Don’t complain when the votes went down
If you didn’t do a thing
To change a single thing
As the sun went down

Founding fathers over the years
Had a dream for all of us here
A dream to be free
A dream of choice for us all

Now it’s been hundreds of years
We have faced many a fear
And now again democracy
Is needing our call

So where were you?

Where were you?
