Stonewall - celebrating 50 years of pride
Oscar E. Moore "from the rear mezzanine" for Talk Entertainment.com
In 1995 a demo cassette recording was produced by Al Lowman for the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. STONEWALL a new musical was composed by Robin Webb with book and lyrics by Michael Aman and Oscar E. Moore.
We are proud to share this with everyone celebrating the 50th anniversary of this “most romantic revolution of all time.”
WALK HAND IN HAND
WE’VE COME THIS FAR
TIME TO CONTINUE
TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICES WITHOUT FEAR
SO FAR TO GO
SHOW OUR DEFIANCE
WE ALL BELONG
WALK HAND IN HAND
WITH HOPE WITH PRIDE
TOGETHER WE’LL DECIDE OUR FUTURE
WALK HAND IN HAND
DON’T HATE, DON’T HIDE
ONE DAY WE’LL CELEBRATE STONEWALL
Out of ignorance comes fear
Out of fear comes hate
Out of hate comes discrimination.
The pain of discrimination is still felt twenty-five years after that revolutionary night.
We must refuse to walk backwards.
We must stay unified.
Forceful.
Visible.
Proud.
It’s a matter of life and death.
Those who hate, hate all.
Fighting on behalf of all of us will ultimately lead to the liberation of all.
Someone’s gotta make it right.
We will.
WE’VE COME THIS FAR
SO FAR TO GO
TIME TO CONTINUE
SHOW OUR DEFIANCE
TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICES WITHOUT FEAR
TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICES WITHOUT FEAR
SO FAR TO GO
WE ALL BELONG
SHOW OUR DEFIANCE
WE ALL BELONG
TOGETHER STANDING STRONG
WALK HAND IN HAND
WITH HOPE WITH PRIDE
TOGETHER WE’LL DECIDE OUR FUTURE
WALK HAND IN HAND
DON’T HATE DON’T HIDE
ONE DAY WE’LL CELEBRATE STONEWALL
ONE DAY WE’LL STAND
ONE DAY HAND IN HAND
ONE DAY WE’LL CELEBRATE
