Seat at the Table

Though the world keeps turning
There are things we have to change
Many laws need confirming
Sharing more is seen as strange
Free yourself from the growing tape
And make your way to where the rules are made

With a seat at the table
There’s a way to help the weak
With a seat at the table
There’s a right to stand and speak
With a seat at the table
There’s a chance to sow a seed
For a fairer type of system
That this country truly needs

Be careful what you promise
Words can help but hurt you more
Word of mouth can be sonic
One mistake can shut the door
And don’t forget who you’re fighting for
When making friends in the corridor

With a seat at the table
There’s a way to help the weak
With a seat at the table
There’s a right to stand and speak
With a seat at the table
There’s a chance to sow a seed
For a fairer type of system
That this country truly needs

Isn’t it wonderful to draw the line?
And isn’t it wonderful when all is fine?
And isn’t it wonderful like summer wine?
When all you’ve got to do is speak your mind

With a seat at the table
There’s a way to help the weak
With a seat at the table
There’s a right to stand and speak
With a seat at the table
There’s a chance to sow a seed
For a fairer type of system
That this country truly needs

Thirteen years now, how’d it go?
Did it work, did your people grow?
Did you serve The Clock House with integrity?
Did you give your people back their destiny?

With a seat at the table
There’s a way to help the weak
With a seat at the table
There’s a right to stand and speak
With a seat at the table
There’s a chance to sow a seed
For a fairer type of system
That this country truly needs
