Prompt / Lyrics
“Make the Motion” (Reggae Radio Edit – 3:15) ⸻ 🌴 Intro (Spoken Over Rhythm) Brothers and sisters… Before the Convention… Before the roll call… It starts at home. Make the motion. ⸻ 🎶 Verse 1 In the lodge hall on a Tuesday night, Under those union lights, We got a voice, we got a right, Don’t let it fade from sight. Delegates travel far away, But they don’t stand alone, They carry the will of the membership, From the house that we call home. ⸻ 🎶 Pre-Chorus Stand up, be recognized, Let your voice be heard, Democracy ain’t complicated, It just starts with one clear word… ⸻ 🌞 Chorus Make the motion — let it rise, Second it strong — let it testify, Debate it fair — keep it dignified, Then vote it in — let the will decide. Before the convention roll call sound, Before they gather from town to town, The power is here, right now, right here — In your local on your ground. Make the motion. ⸻ 🎶 Verse 2 It’s not about division, It’s not about control, It’s about direction from the body, That makes the whole thing whole. Write it clear, put it on the floor, Let the minutes show the way, If the members speak in unity, That’s how the delegates should sway. ⸻ 🎶 Pre-Chorus No hallway talk, no whisper plan, No social media parade, Real democracy is face to face, In the vote that your lodge just made. ⸻ 🌞 Chorus Make the motion — let it rise, Second it strong — let it testify, Debate it fair — keep it dignified, Then vote it in — let the will decide. Before the convention roll call sound, Before they gather from town to town, The power is here, right now, right here — In your local on your ground. Make the motion. ⸻ 🎶 Bridge (Breakdown – Dub Style) Who directs the delegates? The membership. Who carries the strength of the lodge? The delegates do — but they answer to us. If you care about the future, If you care about the vote, Don’t wait for the outcome — Set the course before the boat floats. ⸻ 🌞 Final Chorus (Lift) Make the motion — don’t delay, Second it bold — let it pave the way, Respect the rules — that’s how we stay Strong in unity every day. Before the convention doors swing wide, Before the leaders take their side, The power begins where the members stand — In the lodge hall unified. Make the motion. Make the motion. Make the motion. ⸻ 🌴 Outro (Soft Fade) Starts at home… Starts with you… Starts with one clear motion… 🎵 Fade out on bassline and light percussion.
