Daily Antidote | Emma Azelborn & Friends "It's Always Been About That" & More - 2/25/26

Описание: Welcome to day 2152 of singing with us here on the ‪@DailyAntidoteofSong‬. Our song Leader Emma Azelborn (‪@emmaazelborn‬) tunes in today from Massachusetts to share some of her latest protest songs. These two songs, "It's Always Been About That" and "We Are Here & We Are Rising" were so powerful and strengthening. Emma was joined by two friends, Ian and Annaleah, who all chatted with us about the little ways they've been finding peace during stressful days. It was so amazing to sing with Emma and all of you on this Wednesday, we can't wait to share more music tomorrow, join us!

We Are Here & We Are Rising

we are here and we are [rising]
we are here and we are strong
we are here for all our neighbors and the ones already gone
we are here and we are [rising]
we are here and we are strong
we are here and we are [rising]
we are [rising], we hold on
repeat stanza with:
marching
determined
angry
fighting
resisting
rising
and any words that move you
—-----------------------------------------------
It's Always Been About That

you say it’s all about keeping us safe
no, it’s not about keeping us safe
no, no it’s never been, never been about that
you know it’s all about keeping us scared
yeah, it’s all about keeping us scared
yeah, yeah, it’s always been, always been about that
you say it’s all about self defense /
you know it’s all about shooting first
terrorists / gas and guns
protecting jobs / corporate greed
the average joe / billionaires
family values / fitting the mold
the word of god / selfish lies
fighting crime / racist hate
keeping us safe / keeping us scared
