O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

When a person, any person, tramples on another person’s human rights

we may see it as bizarre…

but if we stand by and do nothing…we’re no better than they are.

We should be shocked, we should be outraged

We should be speak up…create a fuss

because the rights being trampled are human rights

and they belong to all of us.

When any person’s human rights are denied…

shouldn’t we all agree

that in denying them their human rights…

we deny their humanity?

Because when we see a person any person 

trample another person’s human’s rights….

What they’re doing isn’t human

and it certainly isn’t right.

Now is the time we must look inside our souls

for if we are truly the land of the free

we must, once again, be the home of the brave

and restore our humanity.
