we are doing something right

we are doing something right

in a new way

reaching fresh ears

and cold hearts

and closed minds

people who are reaching

for the same goals as us 

are looking for a way to say

we're on the wrong path

maybe they don't share our goals after all

 we are doing something right

in colorful clothes

that make people glare

we are doing something right

 making people tap their feet

and bob their heads

and sometimes we are doing it so right

that their hands come out of their pockets

and sometimes we are doing it so right 

that their hands reach up and in and out

we are doing something right

i know because the opposition is strong
