Saffiyah Smiles

Angry white men dressed like Elmer Fudd Shouting something about soil and blood A woman of colour steps out from the crowd Does something to make us all proud Just like Victor Hugo told To love is to act and her act was bold Bold as love, she made her stand And with a smile took power from the man Oh, don't you know We come together when Saffiyah smiles All around the world People come together when Saffiyah smiles Cosplay Nazis marching in file Hitler's haircut is back in style Resistance on the streets of Birmingham And with her smile she disarms the man Oh, don't you know We come together when Saffiyah smiles All around the world People come together when Saffiyah smiles This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like This is what solidarity looks like
