The Advocate
Becoming The Advocate: A Anthem of Unity and Support
Lyrics
It's not your battle yet
Recognizing that the current struggle is not yours to fight at the moment.
One day it might be
Anticipating that in the future, the battle might become yours.
I will be an advocate
Expressing a commitment to become an advocate for a cause.
Please don't be the enemy
Pleading not to become an adversary or obstacle in the fight for the cause.
If you do forget
Cautioning against forgetting the challenges and struggles faced.
What it was like
Reflecting on the feeling of loneliness that once existed.
When you felt so alone
Recalling a time when one felt isolated.
One act
Emphasizing the importance of a single action.
They need to see
Highlighting the need for others to witness the action.
Arms around whoever you may be
Encouraging support for anyone, regardless of identity.
No matter who attacks
Stating readiness to defend against any attacker.
I'll always have your back
Promising unwavering support as reciprocation for past support.
Like you would have for me
Expressing the expectation of mutual support.
You live inside a speck
Describing a sense of insignificance or being lost.
A ship lost out to sea
Comparing life to a ship adrift in the vastness of the sea.
You may not get respect
Acknowledging a potential lack of respect from one's own community.
From your own community
Recognizing challenges within the community.
I wish I could protect
Expressing a desire to protect, even though it may be challenging.
But really I just can't save anyone
Realizing limitations in saving everyone despite good intentions.
One act
Reiterating the importance of a single action for impact.
They need to see
Emphasizing the need for others to witness supportive gestures.
Arms around whoever you may be
Encouraging embracing others with open arms, irrespective of identity.
No matter who attacks
Remaining steadfast in providing support against any form of attack.
I'll always have your back
Reaffirming the commitment to have someone's back in times of need.
Like you would have for me
Expecting reciprocal support, mirroring the support one would offer.
One act
Reiterating the importance of a single impactful action.
They need to see
Highlighting the significance of public acknowledgment of support.
Arms around whoever you may be
Encouraging open arms for anyone in need of support.
Arms around whoever you may be (arms around)
Repeating the call for embracing anyone in need (arms around).
Arms around whoever you may be (arms around)
Further emphasizing the need for support and solidarity.
Arms around whoever you may be (arms around)
Continuing to stress the importance of embracing others.
Arms around whoever you may be
Repeating the call for embracing anyone in need (arms around).
