[Deborah:]
31 years since Nelson Mandela
Said something I did changed something far away
That's when I knew it does not matter
Cause my mind has the very last say
Don't matter how little my hands might be
If I can simply change the way I think
Then I can change anything, anything

If you want to change it
[Deborah:]
Yes I can
[Cast:]
Are the words we're saying
When we stand
And work to make it right

[Ryan:]
A long way from war new battle before me
Reminds me I learned to hide in plain sight
Straps cinched on their backpacks, wandering the streets
It's hard to sleep in my own bed at night
[Xochitl:]
I came here for love, came to recover
After Hurricane Katrina took all that I knew
Organizing is hard work its heart work
And always feels too big when the day is through
[Ryan:]
I see you in the shadows, even when you disappear
No one should be homeless
They fought for the rest of us
They deserve the best of us
Why are our veterans living here
[Xochitl:]
But we get through, make something new, we move on and it's still there
[Ryan:]
They are what all this is built on
[Xochitl:]
We are the power and
[Ryan/Xochitl:]
We are everywhere

[Xochitl:]

[Cast:]
When we stand
[Ryan:]
Stand up to make it right

We are (use your hands)
We are more than one
When we move together
Don't stop (yes we can)
Until it's done
Till we make it better
You thought that it couldn't be done
But look at what we did
We keep working until

It's in our DNA
We rebel
Gate City
Raised me well
Local union, AFL
CIO, never fell
Fight Against
Our voting hell
Organize
And watch it swell
Rising Tide
Till overwhelm
Welcome to the A-T-L
Say it with me A-T-L
Welcome to the A-T-L

Welcome to the A-T-L

Black leaders, queer, trans
Working class
Immigrant, indigenous-resistance lineage
