"Even if we’re not their Moms or Dads!"
ALL OUR KIDS Key G [dulcimer (D-G-D)]
1. I wake up in the morning, and listen to the news G-C-G
Stuff is going on, that shakes me to my shoes G-D-D7
We’re putting kids in prisons. It’s happening today! G-C-G
But we’re gonna make it stop, ‘cause it’s not okay! G-D-D7-G
Cho1: They’re all our kids, every single one C-G
Even if we’re not their Moms or Dads D-D7-G
They’re all our kids, every daughter, every son C-G
And it breaks our hearts they’re in a place so sad D-D7-G
Instrumental 1: C-Em7/Bm-Am6-G/Am6-D-G
2. Kids needs a safe place, where we’re (they’re) not afraid
Kids need friends, … we (they) need to laugh and play
And kids need love, … we (they) need their families around
We (they) need lifting up, when we’re (they’re) feeling down.
Cho2: We’re (they’re) all your (our) kids, every single one
And locking us (them) in cages, is so wrong
We’re (they’re) all your (our) kids, every daughter, every son
And we make things change, when we sing our songs
Instrumental 2: C-Em7/D-C-Bm/C-Am6/G-D-Bm-G
C-Em7/D-C-Bm/C-D/Em7-D-G
3. I’ve written to officials, made some Facebook rants
Called my friends and family, my uncles and my aunts
Signed petitions to help kids, gone to sit-ins, made some calls
The last thing now is to tear down the walls!
Cho3: They’re All our kids, every single one
And locking them in cages, is so wrong
They’re all our kids, every daughter, every son
We make things change, when we sing our songs
Cho4: They’re All our kids, every single one
Even if we’re not their Moms or Dads
They’re all our kids, every daughter, every son
And it breaks our hearts they’re in a place so sad.
Cho5: Todos de los ninos, estan de nos
Por todos de los ninos, no mas prision
Todos de los ninos, estan de nos
Cosas cambiaren cuando cantaremos!
We make things change, when we sing our songs
C-Em7-C/Bm-D/Am6-D/Em7-D-G
