Requiem for Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Do what is right

Be fair and brave

We learn this in our youth

Stand up for the ones who can't

And always speak the truth

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along

We the people are all equal

Our voices all belong

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on

You can feel it all around us

And hear it in this song

When Ruth was young, she longed to be a famous opera star

Singing in a forte voice so her words would travel far

Ruth became a star, it's true, but she shined a different light

On the people in the shadows longing for their equal rights

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along

We the people are all equal

Our voices all belong

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on

You can feel it all around us

And hear it in this song

That's the truth, Ruth

Her stage was in the courtroom and her voice did travel far

To the people of America, from the Hamptons to Del Mar

She fought for women's rights, equal treatment, equal pay

Like an opera star her voice was heard, near and far away

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along

We the people are all equal

Our voices all belong

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on

You can feel it all around us

And hear it in this song

A feminist, a mother, a scholar of the law

Jewish Supreme Justice, this lady did it all

And maybe most important is the legacy she leaves

Do what's right and always fight for what you believe

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew it all along

We the people are all equal

Our voices all belong

That's the truth, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's spirit lingers on

You can feel it all around us

And hear it in this song

That's the truth, Ruth

That's the truth, Ruth
