sandy rapp - everyone was at stonewall lyrics

where were you in the june of ’69?
did you sing a song of suzanne or sweet caroline?
did you walk on the moon or were both feet on the ground?
were you woodstock bound?
those were the days when the bars became our homes
’cause we had no church or state to call our own
and they raided the bars and the cars were on patrol
and they bugged our phones

but there came a time, a summer’s night
when everyone came out to join the fight
out of twenty million strong
not a queer soul was at home to hear it told
to hear it told, everyone was at stonewall
it’s widely known, not a soul was home
every g. & l. has a new york tale to tell
’cause stonewall was everyone

did you hear the coins go rollin’ round the square?
did you see the crowd with long, beautiful hair?
did you see them throw the building in the air
’cause you were there?
and was it true, did a cry go through
from the village on up second avenue?
did they hear it at uncle charley’s and at three
that they were free?
to hear it told, everyone was at stonewall
it’s widely known, not a soul was home
every g. & l. has a new york tale to tell
’cause stonewall was everyone

now the post office which in those days screened our mail
with a mind to putting some of us in jail
has cast a stamp in the image of us all
for the old stonewall

and though the congress continued to queer our goose
the pentagon was less out on the loose
the supreme court ruled for equal marriage too, and by 2014
as the list of g+y civil right states grew:

connecticut, hawaii, wisconsin, vermont
california, new jersey, minnesota, massachusetts
new hampshire, nevada and rhode island, washington
new york, maryland, illinois, new mexico
iowa and maine too did come through
with delaware, oregon, colorado, utah & dc too

and it won’t be long, it won’t be long
’til a president will sing the stonewall song
and we’ll be heading up the white house throng
where we belong
to hear it told, everyone was at stonewall
it’s widely known, not a soul was home
every g. & l. has a new york tale to tell
’cause stonewall was everyone
to hear it told, everyone was at stonewall
it’s widely known, not a soul was home
every g. & l. has a new york tale to tell
’cause stonewall was stonewall
