"There's A Meeting Here Tonight" lyrics - HOLLY NEAR

There is a meetin' hmm
There is a meetin' hmm
There is a meetin' hmm
There is a meetin' hmm

There is a meetin' here tonight
There is a meetin' here tonight
There is a meetin' here tonight
There is a meetin' here tonight

Well, there's a meetin' here tonight
There's a meetin' here tonight
Crowds a gatherin', ready for change
There's a meetin' here tonight

There's a meetin' here tonight
There's a meetin' here tonight
Crowds a gatherin', ready for change
There's a meetin' here tonight

I went down to the city park
(I went down to the city park)
Talked with folks well into dark
(Situation mighty stark)

Students had a lot to say
(Students had a lot to say)
We'd stay in school but it's too much to pay
Too much to pay, too much pay

Come to the meetin' here tonight
There's a meetin' here tonight
Crowds a gatherin', ready for change
There's a meetin' here tonight

I lost my house and I lost my nation
(Lost my house and lost my nation)
Lost my job, found an occupation
(Come on down to the Occupation)

Being poor is not a crime
(We are running out of time)
Can't feed my family on a dime
On a dime, on a dime

There's a meetin' here tonight
There's a meetin' here tonight
Crowds a gatherin', ready for change
There's a meetin' here tonight

You might have thought that we'd moved on
(Might have thought that we'd moved on)
But racism was never gone
(It still hangs on)

Find your voice and be an ally
(Everyone can be an ally)
Don't let this moment pass us by
Pass us by pass us by

There's a meetin' here tonight
There's a meetin' here tonight
Crowds a gatherin', ready for change
There's a meetin' here tonight

Birth control is patriotic
(Don't make me a felon)
The choice is mine, make sure I got it
(Stop the war against women)

Take your laws off my body
(Oh, oh, here we go again)
Your arrogance is killing me
Killing me, killing me

There's a meetin' here tonight
There's a meetin' here tonight
Crowds a gatherin', ready for change
There's a meetin' here tonight

Immigrants from around the world
(I'm not from here)
Watch a 1000 flags unfurl
(On the Trail of Tears)

Why punish friends from Mexico
(Take down the walls from Mexico)
Let our families come and go
Come and go, come and go

Come to a meetin' here tonight
There's a meetin' here tonight
Crowds a gatherin', ready for change
There's a meetin' here tonight

There is a meetin', there is a meetin'
There is a meetin' here tonight
There is a meetin', there is a meetin'
There is a meetin' here tonight

There is a meetin', there is a meetin'
There is a meetin' here tonight
