WE WILL BE FREE (2:54)
(Choral) A solemn prayer of hope. The song was inspired by the life of Harvey Milk and the Memorial of George Moscone and Harvey Milk in San Francisco held on the 30th Anniversary of their assassination. The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus' performance there inspired this song to be a choral piece.

More Equal Union is an LGBT Civil Rights music album that will be available on iTunes in June 2009, and all proceeds will benefit Lambda Legal. For more information about the album, including audio previews and music videos, go to the official website at http://www.MoreEqualUnion.com.

THE STORY OF ETHAN AND JACOB (Part 13 of 13):
News of the murder spread across America like wildfire, and the following evening, thousands, and in some places tens of thousands, came together with lighted candles and marched in solidarity for one of their brothers, one of their leaders against discrimination. As the news stations aired the candle vigils, millions of minds started to slowly change a little faster from ignorance to tolerance, hundreds of thousands experienced an epiphany of understanding, and tens of thousands shed a tear they once thought couldnt exist. In Iowa where the married couple of Ethan and Jacob once lived, Ethans niece Nadia was in the front of the march, but she couldnt walk, and she couldnt carry a candle, as she couldnt stop crying, along with her mother, as they continued to march forward, with thousands behind them.

LYRICS:

Somewhere over the horizon
There will be a day when hope uncovers justice
Walking on the pavement hand in hand
We raise our heads and sing in everlasting love

We will be free
Oh can you see
We will be free
And you and me
I do decree
We will be free.

Song: Sean Chapin
