Chorus:
Forward together! Forward together! Forward together!
Not one step back!
Forward together! Forward together! Forward together!
Not one step back!

Those who went before us fought
and died for civil rights
We’re not gonna let ‘em go
Not without a fight! So!

Chorus

Those who went before us thought
health care was a human right
We’re not gonna let it go
Not without a fight! So!

Chorus

Those who went before us thought
clean water was a human right
We’re not gonna let it go
Not without a fight! So!

Chorus

Those who went before us thought
choice was a human right
We’re not gonna let it go
Not without a fight! So!

Chorus

Those who went before us thought
that voting was a civil right
We’re not gonna let it go
Not without a fight! So

We’re still fighting long and hard
To build democracy.
We’re not gonna let it go
We want the world to see! So!

Chorus
