Help Us Save Democracy

Help us save democracy;

Help us save this land.

Let the rule of law prevail.

Reach out; give me your hand.

 

When presidents exceed the bounds

Of what is right and wrong

And take away our freedoms, then

The people must stay strong.

 

When rulers with their oligarchs

Hold on to strict control

Of what we folks can say or do,

Defiance plays a role.

 

CHORUS:

Help us save democracy;

Help us save this land.

Let the rule of law prevail.

Reach out; give me your hand.

 

When presidents cause suffering

And use deceit and lies,

Their so-called "love of country" is

Merely a disguise.

 

Shocked when we see through their falsehoods,

They resort to schemes

To gaslight us so that we won't

Challenge their regimes.

 

CHORUS:

Help us save democracy;

Help us save this land.

Let the rule of law prevail.

Reach out; give me your hand.

 

When religion is misused

To back discrimination,

To speak against hypocrisy

Is our obligation.

 

Our rights are disappearing fast.

Don't let Trump derail

The train of freedom. Let's all hope

That justice can prevail.

 

CHORUS:

Help us save democracy;

Help us save this land.

Let the rule of law prevail.

Reach out; give me your hand.
