Song of Pride
I sing this song of Pride
For those who have no voice.
I march this street in honor
Of those who had no choice
The Stonewall Riots, where it all began
Our fathers took to the streets.
To demand equal rights and justice
No longer will we take a back seat.
I sing this song of Pride
For Freedom and Liberty.
I march this street to honor
Those who've gone before me.
On Santa Monica Boulevard
On this cloudless, beautiful day.
My Gay brethren by the thousands
Are standing proud to say.
We sing this song of Pride
Equality is our demand.
Those closet doors been shattered
We're proud to take a stand.
