  You're Needed Now

Dallas De Brabander, 2015

Come together heed the call
See the writing's on the wall
The world needs action not just talking
Get your boots on, let's start walking
On the streets you're needed now
There's strength in numbers
You're needed now!

Now, not tomorrow
Today you're needed now
There's strength in numbers
You're needed now!

"I put family first" you say
"And the kids want me to play"
But you can play another day
It's time to rally come what may
On the streets you're needed now
There's strength in numbers
You're needed now!


There's time for celebrations
For sport and nice vacations
It's time to rally for the future
Bring the family on this adventure
On the streets you're needed now
There's strength in numbers
You're needed now!


We are marching on the street
You can hear our fearless beat
Banners waving colours bright
Come and join us in this fight
On the streets you're needed now
There's strength in numbers
You're needed now!


We're all glad we joined the throng
Marched with others, sang the song
("Unity must never die, raise your banners high!")
When your children ask you how to make
The future safe for their kids' sake
Tell them, You're needed now!
There's strength in numbers
You're needed now!


You ask what we can do
About corruption by the few
Persevere through thick and thin
Keep on marching, don't give in
Keep on singing loud and long
Stick together, we all belong
Collective action makes us strong
There's strength in numbers
We're all needed Now!
