Man Ripples Through Time
(music and lyrics by Aimée Allen)

Your heart is a muscle
As strong as a fist
And it beats and it bleeds
And it always resists

Your breath is a windstorm
Across continents
And it ripples through time
As it takes us with it

Calling out, calling out
Staying strong, staying strong
George George George
You were just a man George

You were over 6 feet tall
They tried hard to make you small
But the breath they tried to take
Made the whole foundation shake
Now we understand George

What a poem is your life
Making sense of what is wrong and right
As the globe discovers might
Doesn't always win the fight
Now we take a stand George

And the voice they tried to drown
Multiplied the world around
And the cries they tried to stop
Simply wouldn’t be cut off
And the hearts they tried to break
Took in all that they could take
And the life they tried to end
Is a name we'll say again and again and again
Now we take your hand George

Let it break
Let it break
Let it take all it can take
Let it bleed
Let it beat
For the new world it will make

The heart is a muscle
Stronger than a fist
And it beats and it bleeds
And it always resists

And the voice they tried to drown
Multiplied the world around
And the cries they tried to stop
Simply wouldn’t be cut off
And the heart they tried to break
Took in all that it could take
And the lives they tried to end
Are the names we'll say again and again and again
Now you take our hands George

Your breath is a windstorm
Across continents
And it ripples through time
As it takes us with it

All across the land George
