Sleep-In: Part Three

Local musicians and activists David King and Gil Bigenho have written a song for this event. Titled "Raise the Roof" it is an account of their experiences working with some of CHSC's homeless programs. One is a violinist which just adds a lovely note to the performance. Here are some of the lyrics:

Let's Raise the Roof

A roof above their heads

Raise the Roof

For Marta and her kids

Safe housing, now's the time

We leave no child behind

We keep our promises to our kids

Let's shout out loud

Stand up tall

To city hall

Raise the Roof!

Let's Raise the Roof

Refuse to live this way

Raise the Roof

We will have our say

If not us, who will it be

It not now, when will we see

Justice for our families

Let's shout out loud

Stand up tall

From the streets

To city hall

Raise the Roof
