New Land

Oh, sing me, sing me, to a new land where is heard
Equality’s song,
Where men and women work and play for equal pay
And all is right, nothing wrong, nothing wrong.

Oh, drum me, drum me, to a new place, where is heard
Equality’s beat,
Where men and women dance in step, neither following
Nor leading, graceful and strong,
And all is right, nothing wrong, nothing wrong.

Oh, fife me, fife me, to a new space, where is heard
Equality’s highest note,
Where marching men and women, an awakening throng,
High-step into tomorrow,
And all is right, nothing wrong, nothing wrong.

Oh, cry me, cry me, to a new world, where is heard
Equality’s joyful sound,
Where men and women, honor- bound to care
Find in community, love’s delight,
And nothing is wrong, all is right, all is right.
