In 1995 a demo cassette recording was produced by Al Lowman for the 25^th anniversary of the Stonewall riots.  STONEWALL a new musical was composed by Robin Webb with book and lyrics by Michael Aman and Oscar E. Moore.

We are proud to share WALK HAND IN HAND with everyone celebrating the 50^th anniversary of this “most romantic revolution of all time.”

WE’VE COME THIS FAR

TIME TO CONTINUE

TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICES WITHOUT FEAR

 

SO FAR TO GO

SHOW OUR DEFIANCE

WE ALL BELONG

 

WALK HAND IN HAND

WITH HOPE WITH PRIDE

TOGETHER WE’LL DECIDE OUR FUTURE

 

WALK HAND IN HAND

DON’T HATE,  DON’T HIDE

ONE DAY WE’LL CELEBRATE STONEWALL

 

Out of ignorance comes fear

Out of fear comes hate

Out of hate comes discrimination.

The pain of discrimination is still felt twenty-five years after that revolutionary night.

 

We must refuse to walk backwards.

We must stay unified.

Forceful.

Visible.

Proud.

It’s a matter of life and death.

Those who hate, hate all.

Fighting on behalf of all of us will ultimately lead to the liberation of all.

Someone’s gotta make it right.

We will.

 

WE’VE COME THIS FAR

SO FAR TO GO

TIME TO CONTINUE

SHOW OUR DEFIANCE

TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICES WITHOUT FEAR

TIME TO LIFT OUR VOICES WITHOUT FEAR

SO FAR TO GO

WE ALL BELONG

SHOW OUR DEFIANCE

WE ALL BELONG

TOGETHER STANDING STRONG

 

WALK HAND IN HAND

WITH HOPE WITH PRIDE

TOGETHER WE’LL DECIDE OUR FUTURE

WALK HAND IN HAND

DON’T HATE DON’T HIDE

ONE DAY WE’LL CELEBRATE STONEWALL

 

ONE DAY WE’LL STAND

ONE DAY HAND IN HAND

ONE DAY WE’LL CELEBRATE
