No on Prop 8: Don't take people's dreams away

I heard that Vienna Teng wrote the song "City Hall" after San Francisco legalized gay marriage. It reminds me of the battle waging now, and how close it is. And how dare some people take away the dreams and rights of people they deem "unworthy".

Please support No on Prop 8. I donated this week, its not too late!

Me and my baby on a February holiday
'Cause we got the news
Yeah we got the news
500 miles and we're gonna make it all the way
We got nothing to lose
We got nothing to lose

Been ten years waiting
but it's better late then never
we've been told before
We can't wait one minute more


Oh me and my baby driving down
to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall
Oh me and my baby stand in line
you never seen a sight so fine
as the love that's gonna shine at city hall

Me and my baby been through a lot of good and bad
Learned to kiss the sky
Made our mamas cry
Seen a lot of friends after giving it all they had
lay down and die
lay down and die
Ten years into it
here's our window at the Vegas drive-thru chapel
Ain't to much for 'em all to handle



Outside they're handing out donuts and pizza pies
for the folks in pairs
in their folding chairs
My baby's looking so damn pretty with those anxious eyes
rain-speckled hair
and my ring to wear
Ten years waiting for this moment of fate
when we say the words and sign our names
If they take it away again someday
this beautiful thing won't change
