lyrics

She was told she had two choices
Jail or the back of the bus
My advice is move he said
But it doesn’t matter to us
Nevertheless she resisted
She saw no other way
Nevertheless she persisted
Making history that day

The Senator from Massachusetts
Was silenced the other day
The old boys club refused to hear
What it was she wanted to say
Nevertheless she resisted
She saw no other way
Nevertheless she persisted
She saw no other way

The fight goes on every day
There’s never an end in sight
The struggle goes on forever
In the fight for human rights

She defied Taliban death threats
Fighting for children’s rights
A gunman shot her down
And she almost died that night
Nevertheless she resisted
She saw no other way
Nevertheless she persisted
She knew no other way

Malala, Warren and Parks
Among millions who’ve had to face
Men like Mitch McConnell
Telling them to stay in their place
Nevertheless they resisted
And they fight back still
Nevertheless they persisted
And they always will

about

Dan Sullivan Kalamazoo, Michigan

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
