For More Information on the Girls Sit Screaming Movement, please visit www.ivyarts.org
looks so easy for the boys
to make noise
while the girls sit screaming in their seats
silently scared to eat
why should she feel afraid
to take up space
take up space
and why have we created a place
where the girls don't know their own grace?
must be nice to think the world is yours
Walk right through the open doors
and get paid at least what you are worth
then run around without a shirt
why isn't she getting paid
for the work that she made?
and why is a mother feeding her babe
any cause for her to feel shame?
raise your voices in the streets
in your home
in your own mind
re-write the stories that they'll read
in libraries
in futurekind
we were strong in so many ways
moments of endless days
we were not willing to pay
for the debt our fathers made

One foot in front of the other
That’s right you can follow, follow your feet
One foot in front of the other
You know you are where you, where you’re meant to be
I have tried to be quiet
Oh and play the game nicely
But I can not deny it
All God’s children STILL ain’t free
Now people are dyin
Killin each other
And we all are cryin
For the skeleton key
One foot in front of the other
That’s right you can follow, follow your feet
One foot in front of the other
You know you are where you, where you’re meant to be
There is no use in silence
in the presence of violence
We must protect the weary
From the elite
Prayin for guidance
A heart of forgiveness
Trouble soon be over
For you and for me
One foot in front of the other
That’s right you can follow, follow your feet
One foot in front of the other
Until we all march on march on to victory
with references to songs by: Johnny Cash; Blind Willie Johnson; and James Weldon Johnson.

Oh My Grace

G
“Oh my Grace, I close my eyes
C
You Bring me home”, I am revived
G D
Wide awake as your face
C G
Melts my heartache away
Oh my Grace I have flown
A cloud in the sky into my own
How you’ve grown
Let my tears wash your heartache away
C A
“The part of me that pained the most
D
also got me out of bed
C A
without your hope
D
there would be nothing left”
Oh my Grace a cloud can become rain, snow or ice any which one-but not nothing.
No, it must turn into something new.
Oh my Grace I am not gone
I have just changed to a different form
I’m the rain
let me freefall your heartache away.

Ivy Ross
Songwriting has been a refuge for me since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I have had the great fortune of collaborating with marvelous musicians around the planet, and I have also spent many a long period of solitude courting the muse in her many forms. May the fruit from the tree I have watered with time be tasty and nourishing for you, and may your creativity bloom luminous, healthy and free. ... more
