about

"Linda Sussman takes us on a powerful journey with her new single JOIN HANDS. Now more than ever we need messages like this" — Luke Wolk, host, Radio Guitar One

​​​​​​​"Both a rallying cry and an uplifting anthem for our times, this is music you need to hear" — Ron Cooke, KTAL-Las Cruces radio host

“Join Hands” is unapologetically unifying and wholesome, and throws in the sort of standard social justice sentiment musicians have been singing about since the ’60s. ... The percussion sounds perfect against the flamenco style guitar. I also loved the hook which was very catchy" — Matt Jensen, reviewer, Divide and Conquer Music

lyrics

JOIN HANDS
Lyrics & Music © Linda Sussman

Running rampant through our nation
Forging clear across this land
Is hatred born of ignorance
Stoked by leaders standing grand
Fear rises out of bigotry
That’s been invited to the stage
And money writes the history
Centuries of shame

[CHORUS]
Join hands
With your sisters and your brothers
Join hands
Make a statement for those who can’t
Take a knee
To stand up and be free
Join hands
All across this land

Call attention to those silenced
Well before their time
At the hands of those in power
Feeding us some line
One lie after another lie
Keeps the status quo alive
They’ve had us all in corners
To conquer __ and divide

[CHORUS]

Shine a light on respect
Speak up for equality
It’s time for understanding
Years and years of misery
The color that you walk in
Should not put you in jeopardy
We’re cryin’ out for justice
And full-on __ liberty

[CHORUS]
