5th November

by Daniel Kelly – 2024

    D
If Donald Trump wins
         G        A
on the 5th of November,
Here is something I hope,
that you all will remember.

    G                D
That you still can be brave,
         A              D
And you still can be kind,
You don’t have to give him
a space in your mind,

    Em          
And just like fascists
    Bm
That rose once before,
    A
In time the good people,
         Bm
Will show him the door. X 2

I know that it’s scary,
When hatred is shouting,
And the voices of reason,
Seem to be doubting,

But I hold on to hope,
And I hold on to joy,
I look past the fear,
And shared strength I employ,

And just like the rainbow,
That follows the storm,
The wild and angry,
Will soon be outworn,

It doesn’t make sense,
That some folk will follow,
A many who spreads lies,
And is greedy and hollow,

But we can be true,
And we can be free,
We can reach out a hand,
To the lost that we see.

And after the suffering,
The loss and the pain,
We will rebuild our freedom,
And forget his name,
