"Requiem For Ruth Bader Ginsburg" lyrics

Do what is right
Be fair and brave
We learn this in our youth
Stand up for the ones who can't
And always speak the truth

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Knew it all along
We the people are all equal
Our voices all belong
That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's
Spirit lingers on
You can feel it all around us
And hear it in this song

When Ruth was young she hoped to be a famous opera star
Singin' in a forte voice so her words would travel far
Well Ruth became a star it's true but she shined a different light
On the people in the shadows longing for their equal rights

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Knew it all along
We the people are all equal
Our voices all belong
That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's
Spirit lingers on
You can feel it all around us
And hear it in this song

Her stage was in the courtroom and her voice did travel far
To the people of America, from the Hamptons to Del Mar
She fought for women's rights, equal treatment, equal pay
Like an opera star her voice was heard, near and far away

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Knew it all along
We the people are all equal
Our voices all belong
That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's
Spirit lingers on
You can feel it all around us
And hear it in this song

A feminist, a mother, a scholar of the law
Jewish Supreme Justice, this lady did it all
And maybe most important is the legacy she leaves
Do what's right and always fight for what you believe

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Knew it all along
We the people are all equal
Our voices all belong
That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's
Spirit lingers on
You can feel it all around us
And hear it in this song
