about

What will we do on the day everyone becomes free and equal? I say we should have a parade!

Toronto singer/songwriter Alysha Brillinger joins me here with some light-as-air scat singing.

lyrics

The father lifts his boy up
To get a better view
At the generals and their armies
Dancing two by two
The Catholics aren’t laying trips
On the guilty and the lame
No one holds all the cards
There’s no one to blame

We all come out on Liberation Day

Sexuality is not in question
Desire is not a dirty word
You can be who you want to
As long as no one gets hurt
The children sing, the grass is green
Miles Davis is holding notes
People party on the rooftops
We all got the vote

We all come out on Liberation Day

High above the choir boys
Write their names in snow-white ink
But Adolf Hitler couldn’t make it
He needed time to think

We all come out on Liberation Day
