We're here

Whether you like us or not, we're here.
Whether you think we deserve equal rights or not, we're here.
Whether you choose to accept us or not, we're here.
We're here and we're not going away.

We are your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers.
We teach your children and inspire them to greater things.
We are the nurse that took your temperature.
We're here and we're not going away.

We are the doctor that cared for you.
Some of you are alive because we are that organ donor that you will never know.
We stand beside you in church, holding the same bible, singing the same hymn.
We're here and we're not going away.

We scanned your groceries at the supermarket.
That great meal you just ate, one of us prepared it for you.
Your wardrobe is largely due to our ideas and labor.
We're here and we're not going away.

We arranged the bouquet your daughter held walking down the aisle at the Baptist church.
That song you can't listen to enough, one of us wrote it.
We are the actors of stage and screen that you enjoy so much.
We're here and we're not going away.

We deliver your mail.
We groom your pet.
We increase your property value by renovating houses none of you will touch.
We're here and we're not going away.

Whether you think we're sinners or not, we're here.
Whether you understand we feel the same things you do, we're here.
Whether you acknowledge our existence or not, we're here.
We're here and we're NEVER going away.
