about

This is another version of We Gonna with a more driving beat. My wife and sister said the first version lost a bit of the raw feeling of my iPhone recording of the first day I wrote it. What can you say... sometimes they are right!

lyrics

We Gonna
Alicia Healey
2022

V1
Only time will tell,
Who will stumble who will do well
Working for the poor and the meek
Or those - who seek

Power through their lies
Power through their hate
A collection of sad, little minds
It’s time to stop ‘em, this November 8!

CH
We gonna march, we gonna shout, we gonna RUN, vote the bastards/bad ones out
We gonna jump, we gonna sing, take it back, Let freedom truly ring
Keep doing what we do, spice it up with a win or two
Stand strong hand in hand - let peace rule this land

We gonna shout

V2
It’s a tiny minority, got their boot on our necks
Holding even their team hostage, scared of what comes next
But I still believe
That we can win the day
Defeat their beast of fear
Bring ‘em in and find our way

CH

BRIDGE
Lately, we’ve developed some habits
Of waiting for them to behave, not believing it could get worse
Well, friends it's here. It’s been coming for years
It’s up to me and you, so what we gonna do???

CH

We gonna march, we gonna shout, we gonna RUN, vote the bastards/bad ones out
We gonna jump, we gonna sing, take it back, Let freedom truly ring
Keep doing what we do, spice it up with a dollar or two
Stand strong for what you believe
Demand your place
Use your outside voice (Peace and joy can be loud)
Shine Your light
Come together with all our might -

CH
We’re gonna fight, we’re gonna win, we’re gonna make room, let all the ideas in
We’re gonna play hard, not float, we got the numbers if we all vote
Keep doing what we do, click it up a notch or two
Stand strong hand in hand, bring justice back to this land

We gonna march, were gonna shout, we gonna jump, we gonna sing
we gonna march, we gonna shout, we gonna win, cuz we gonna fight.
