‘Over Here’ No Kings and No ICE

I grew up with big screen HEROS, John Wayne, Eddie Murphy, and way to many more saving America from the Evils of tyranny during WW II, and still enjoyed Gary Cooper as SGT York saving us during WW I, but none of that would have been possible if James Cagney hadn’t played George Cohan and given us music like OVER THERE.

Find it, listen to it, let the goose bumbs rise, remember what your grand fathers and your great gran fathers sacrificed so you could live in America.

This is MY version, sing it, use it, it’s ours, it’s mine and it’s yours.

“Over Here” – sing it to the same tune:

Verse 1
Folks, get your voice, get your voice, get your voice,
Raise it up high, up high, up high.
Hear them calling, you and me,
Every son and daughter free.
Hurry right away, no delay, stand today,
Make your fathers proud, to have raised such a crowd.
Tell your children not to fear,
Be proud we’re standing here.

Chorus
Over here, over here,
Send the word, send the word over here—
That the people are waking, the people are waking,
The truth is thundering everywhere.
So beware, say a prayer,
Send the word, send the word to beware—
We’re stronger than you, we’re coming through,
And we won’t back down till it’s over, over here!

Verse 2
Folks, see the game, see the game, see the game,
We see through the lies, the lies, the lies.
No more chains, no more chains, break away,
Liberty’s call won’t fade today.
From the farms to the streets we rise,
Grit in our hearts, fire in our eyes.
We’ve buried too many for this land,
Now we take back what’s in our hand.

Chorus repeat
Over here, over here,
Send the word, send the word over here—
That the resilient are rising, the resilient are rising,
The spirit is rumbling everywhere.
So prepare, have a care,
Send the word, send the word to beware—
We’re tougher than steel, we see what you conceal,
And we’re coming for freedom, over here!
