Requiem for Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Do what is right Be fair and brave We learn this in our youth Stand up for the ones who can't And always speak the truth That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along We the people are all equal Our voices all belong That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on You can feel it all around us And hear it in this song When Ruth was young, she longed to be a famous opera star Singing in a forte voice so her words would travel far Ruth became a star, it's true, but she shined a different light On the people in the shadows longing for their equal rights That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along We the people are all equal Our voices all belong That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on You can feel it all around us And hear it in this song That's the truth, Ruth Her stage was in the courtroom and her voice did travel far To the people of America, from the Hamptons to Del Mar She fought for women's rights, equal treatment, equal pay Like an opera star her voice was heard, near and far away That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along We the people are all equal Our voices all belong That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on You can feel it all around us And hear it in this song A feminist, a mother, a scholar of the law Jewish Supreme Justice, this lady did it all And maybe most important is the legacy she leaves Do what's right and always fight for what you believe That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along We the people are all equal Our voices all belong That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on You can feel it all around us And hear it in this song That's the truth, Ruth That's the truth, Ruth
