Mic Check for Holy-days & Holi-days

Mic Check for Holy-days & Holi-days
Shakeel Syed, Dec 24, 2011

I say Mic Check, for the holy-days and
You say Mic Check, for the the holi-days

You say Mic Check, for 2011 that was theirs
I say Mic Check, for 2012 that will be ours

O my people of faith and persons of conscience
Let us all sing Mic Check for the sake of Mic Check

Mic Check for Hanukkah and Moses
Mic Check for Christmas and Jesus
Mic Check for Kwanzaa and King

Mic Check for the faithful and Mic Check for the faithless
Mic Check for the jobless and Mic Check for the homeless
Mic Check for the voiceless and Mic Check for the powerless

O my people of faith and persons of conscience
Let us all sing Mic Check for the sake of Mic Check

Mic Check to gut the greed and Mic Check to castigate the corruption
Mic Check to hound the hunger and Mic Check to prune the poverty
Mic Check to over the oppression and Mic Check to toss the tyranny

O my people of faith and persons of conscience
Let us all sing Mic Check for the sake of Mic Check

Mic Check for the wretched of the earth
Mic Check for their freedom and dignity, and
Mic Check for our revolution and not their reform

I say Mic Check, for the holy-days and
You say Mic Check, for the the holi-days

You say Mic Check, for 2011 that was theirs
I say Mic Check, for 2012 that will be ours.
