ALLY

Words & Music by Susan Goodman Jackson (pka Sooz)

© 2011 Soozaroo Music (ASCAP)


Straight boy, straight girl

Secure in your own sexuality

Why do you suppose some folks feel so threatened by

The LGBTQ community

 

Straight boy, straight girl

You want to love like all humanity

And you want to be loved

See how much you have in common with

The LGBTQ community

 

We want to leave behind the times

When you’re never safe, when you’re not let in 

Because of your religion, your language

Your accent or the color of your skin

 

But prejudice is prejudice

Xenophobe or homophobe or member of the Klan

And ignorance breeds hate and fear

Of different kinds of people we don’t understand


Straight boy, straight girl...


Some denigrate, some demonize

Different kinds of people they don't really know

It's easy when they generalize

And individuality and faces don’t show

 

But when someone you know and love

Comes out to you and shares their truth one day

Show them they can count on you

To be an ally and love them either way

 

Straight boy, straight girl

Have you got the courage to have an open mind

Straight boy, straight girl

Say you’ll be an ally for all humankind


Straight boy, straight girl

Say you’ll be an ally


Straight boy, straight girl
Say you’ll be an ally
