Claudia Zanes, Dan Zanes and Dan + Claudia Zanes - Reparations is a Must (4th of July Love Song)

See how the flags are flying Reparations is a must
While the old ways are quickly dying Reparations is a must
And the fireworks in the night sky tomorrow's poisoned dust
Parades across the nation
Oooo Reparations is a must

The statues and the glory...
The story behind the story...
All the children in their classrooms and the teachers they're asked to trust
Can write it on the whiteboard...

Through every park and byway...
Through every crowd that blocks the highway...
And the good word from the news team work it out or bust
And the wind that shakes the barley...

At the barbeques and clambakes...
Through the laughter and the milkshakes...
And the sunburns on the front porch no time to fight or fuss
You all know what to do now...

We'll count our footsteps elevate our gaze
Clear our path and find another way

Throughout the halls of power...
The song grows by the hour...
But if they can't sing and they won't dance how can they earn the trust
And be invited to the party-o...

Now who needs facts to ponder
Just grab a map and wander
If you listen, you'll hear clearly it was never meant for us
But if you sing This Land Is Your Land...
