Rev. Fred Small at the Standing on the Side of Love rally, Pridefest 2010 in Seattle. Several thousand Unitarian Universalists were there in support of marriage equality.
Here are the words to "Tree of Life," by Guy Carawan and Luci Murphy: Ain't you got a right Ain't you got a right Ain't you got a right To the tree of life? Gonna tell all my brothers Gonna tell all my sisters That we got a right . . . So rocky the road So dangerous the journey But we got a right . . . We come from a distance We come from a distance And we got a right . . . Our lives will be sweeter Our lives will be sweeter Cause we got a right . . .
The song I'm leading is "Tree of Life" by Guy Carawan and Luci Murphy, inspired by the music and spirituality of the South Carolina Sea Islands. Guy owns the copyright, and I think Luci added a verse or two. I've been leading the song at environmental justice, GLBTQ, and (more and more) immigrant justice events. It's powerful, spiritual, and easy to learn.
yes, real marriage equality means nobody gets married under the state until ALL are married under the state! bravo!
