What can I do now?

It's out of our control

And so we'll sit and watch

As a despicable man

Takes

And takes

And takes

"Stay strong" 

"Don't give up"

"There's power in silence."

At least that's what they say

But what will happen on

January 20th,

Inauguration day?

"The fight is not over"

Then tell me what I can do 

NOW

Because sitting and staying silent,

Feels anything but strong.
