about

This song is an anthem for equality for all and I really hope it inspires others to do EVERYTHING they can to help with the systemic change we need. We all have a role to play so let’s step up. I’m working on final distribution actions and hope to have the song out in the next few weeks.

lyrics

CROSSROADS

I was 15, watching a prime-time show
They were treating folks bad in a way I didn’t know
I knew it was wrong, watching it I felt sick
I had no clue in real life, it was systemic

As I aged, I grew to hate those who hated
I shut people down, it wasn’t debated
The power this took from me was unsettling
So, I disengaged, rather than severing

Everything is clear now
I see it all so clear now

All people are equal but not treated that way
Every single one of us has our role to play
We’re all at a crossroad, let’s bring down the walls
We aren't really free without equality for all
United we can thrive, divided we fall
We aren't really free without equality for all

Every day, every hour, I will learn what I can do
I know I’ll never understand, but I can stand with you.
With the right momentum we can bring real change
The reward for our efforts, our world rearranged

Everything is clear now
I see it all so clear now

All people are equal but not treated that way
Every single one of us has our role to play
We’re all at a crossroad, let’s bring down the walls
We aren't really free without equality for all
United we can thrive, divided we fall
We aren't really free without equality for all

Denounce to dismantle, we have to say it’s wrong
we have to say it’s wrong, we have to say it’s wrong,
Denounce to dismantle, we have to say it’s wrong
we have to say it’s wrong, we have to say it’s wrong,

All people are equal but not treated that way
Every single one of us has our role to play
We’re all at a crossroad, let’s bring down the walls
We aren't really free without equality for all
United we can thrive, divided we fall

We aren't really free without equality for all
All people are equal but not treated that way
Every single one of us has our role to play
We’re all at a crossroad, let’s bring down the walls
We aren't really free without equality for all
United we can thrive, divided we fall
We aren't really free without equality for all

Gail T as Charged Edmonton, Alberta

I'm in the process of reinventing myself as a songwriter and musician.

After a quarter of a century in the financial world, I was dreaming of a second calling. I didn't start this new journey until shortly before I turned 60, so sometimes it feels like I'm in a race with the clock! Then, I realize I'm having so much fun that it's all good. I would love to use my music to generate social messages. ... more
