about

This song was inspired by The book the Commitment by Dan Savage. A song for all couples who want to marry

lyrics

Harriet Beacher Stowe
is sitting on the front porch swing
The world she knows is debating slavery
all that is on her mind
the words that she wants to write
are isn’t it about time

Susan b Anthony
marches on cold Chicago streets
skirt dragging in the snowy sleet
She raises her voice to speak
In her hands she holds a sign
give a vote for woman kind
all that is on her mind
Is isn’t it about time

Malcolm x Martin Luther King
different sides of the same damn thing
take the microphone to speak
I have a dream
Its not about black or white
But who is the one to decide
the rights of humankind

Isn’t about time
every generation has there own battle to fight
Come on now its about time


As a young girl in a San Francisco church
my grand dad danced with both the grooms
Uncle married the man of his dreams
years later and were still arguing


Isn’t it about time we change our minds
It never was up to us to decide
what are human rights
cause where do you draw a line
