A Song of Free Love

  1. Who will write us an anthem,
  2. Who will stand and sing our pride,
  3. Who will mourn with requiem,
  4. Those who have died,
  5. So youth is free today,
  6. With sadness cast aside,
  7. And proud to be gay?
  8.  
  9. Who will wipe the tears,
  10. From those who understand,
  11. The loss of all our years,
  12. The rights of all Mankind,
  13. To live and love without fears,
  14. And let it be sung, none shall rescind,
  15. The freedoms won by queers?
  16.  
  17. Who will write us a song of love,
  18. Who will stand and sing by our side,
  19. Who will celebrate the right to love,
  20. Denying those who lied,
  21. About hatred from above,
  22. To stop us as we tried
  23. Living lives of free love?
  24.  
  25. Who will thank us for their liberty,
  26. With songs of pride that praised,
  27. Our solidarity,
  28. In our crusade,
  29. Of Love's true cause,
  30. Even as we slaved,
  31. Against unjust laws?
  32.  
  33. Who will sing against,
  34. The loss of human rights,
  35. For fearless days,
  36. And happy nights,
  37. Of peace that stays,
  38. With no more fights,
  39. About our loving ways?
  40.  
  41. Who will know life's meaning,
  42. If joys of humanity,
  43. Are denied marrying,
  44. With our cry for liberty,
  45. By not accepting
  46. Love's insanity,
  47. As the sanctity of living?
  48.  
  49. No call to arms shall be made,
  50. Which does not embrace,
  51. Compassion for the whole human Race,
  52. No more wars on love,
  53. With words of hate,
  54. No more shall we enslave,
  55. Ourselves or our fate.
  56.  
  57. We know our destiny is to see
  58. Our love is what makes us free.
  59.  
  60. Who will sing a song of freedom,
  61. Who will dance to life and gaiety,
  62. Who will sing our anthem,
  63. Of our love and joy in living free?
  64. Oh, let it be, you and me.
