The Conversation Spreads Lyrics

Ryan Harvey

You can organize at work
Or you can organize at school
You can organize your neighborhood
Whatever works for you
From the classroom to the dishsink
There's a struggle to move ahead
And since it's everybody's burden
The conversation spreads

You gotta start small
Which might make you feel quite weak
But you'll encounter people everywhere
Who share your need to speak
And they'll talk to their neighbors
Then they'll talk to their friends
And they'll talk to their classmates
And the conversation spreads

When you start to share your stories
There's patterns you will find
And you'll understand oppression
How it's all intertwined
And how we can be as awful
As the politicians can
And how most of us are tired of it
So the conversation spreads

Take a dream for freedom
And spread it everywhere
Most folks hide their compassion
But they all know it's there
And they're waiting for someone else
To say what must be said
So make the first move and then
The conversation spreads

We always complain
Let's not do that anymore
Cuz we know about the problems
It's the solution's we ignore
So no more bitter comments
Let's organize instead
And build a new tomorrow
While the conversation spreads

Revolutions don't just happen
They slowly grow and bloom
And they're started in the shadows
By folks like me and you
So if you're ready for a change to come
Speak up and raise your head
Cuz one thing leads to another
And the conversation spreads
