From the recording Singles
Frigid January 2026. Twin Cities. The singers stayed outside to heal the harm.
Lyrics
Yet the People
1:
bitter wind marches on the city
masked in ice, daring us to move
penetrates layered clothes
if we go we out we could be exposed
we could be exposed
yet the people gathered in the streets
yet the people gathered in the streets
2:
fragile nerves shattered like car windows
never thought it could happen here
but the shots and the screams
and the blood cry out in our dreams
cry out in our dreams
yet the people gathered in the streets
yet the people gathered in the streets
chorus:
And the people gathered in the streets
Meet the challenge face to face to try to right what's wrong
And the people gathered in the streets
To keep each other safe they sang their song
3:
your words without hesitation
left us speechless, frozen still and numb
blame the victim with invective
don't reflect an inkling of regret
no investigation yet
yet the people gathered in the streets
yet the people gathered in the streets
bridge:
You cursed them as they lay dying at your hands
At your hands
chorus:
And the people gathered in the streets
Meet the challenge face to face and try to right what's wrong
And the people gathered in the streets
To keep each other safe they sang their song
To keep each other safe they sang their song
To keep each other safe we sing our song
