OUR JOYOUS REBELLION Lyrics
(Lyrics and music by Winston Apple)

Brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors
Please lend me your ears
I’ve got some news,
Could be good news or bad news
One way or another, the end is near
If we don’t change our ways, our days are numbered
We’re running out of time (time is not on our side)
It may be too late already, but we can’t know for sure
We could still save ourselves, but not if we don’t try

We’ve been divided and we have been conquered
But those days are behind us now
We are uniting, we’re growing stronger
Ain’t nothing or nobody gonna keep us down
We sing and we dance and we love one another
We celebrate the dawning of a glorious new age
Change is in the air, we feel it everywhere
Our Joyous Rebellion is the latest rage

We are communicating, talking amongst ourselves
We listen carefully, we seek to understand
And as we realize how much we have in common
Our joyous rebellion is spreading throughout the land

This ship has sailed, so batten down the hatches
Shiver me timbers and hoist up the sails
To make the best of a bad situation
Our joyous rebellion must be too big to fail
If you want change, you’ve got to make changes
Change is in the air
People are on their feet and taking to the streets
People who really care coming together everywhere

We are communicating, talking amongst ourselves
Learning to listen, seeking to understand
And as we realize how much we have in common
Our joyous rebellion is spreading throughout the land

Let’s keep communicating, talking amongst ourselves
Let’s listen carefully, let’s seek to understand
Now that we realize how much we have in common
Our joyous rebellion is spreading throughout the land
Our joyous rebellion is spreading throughout the land
