We will broaden the circle, let no one stand alone,
Forge a commons of plenty where each need is known;
And the prairie wind whispers, “Keep hope burning bright,”
For the world we are sowing will bloom red and white.

Bloom Red and White
You can find the sheet music and a voice part and piano accompaniment audio files in our Chapter song folder in the Governing Documents folder of our Google Drive. Below are the lyrics
Verse 1
’Tis the dream of the many, the power we share,
’Tis the call to stand up for each neighbor’s care;
And when we join together where the prairie rolls bright,
We will find in the Flint Hills a justice-lit light.
Refrain
When true solidarity is gain’d,
To rise and to build we shan’t be restrain’d;
To turn, turn—organize day and night,
Till by turning, turning we set things right.
Verse 2
From the bluestem that shivers beneath the Kansas sky,
Hear a meadowlark singing as our banners fly;
We raise every voice in the working-class song,
Flint Hills DSA stands united and strong.
(Refrain)
When true solidarity is gain’d,
To rise and to build we shan’t be restrain’d;
To turn, turn—organize day and night,
Till by turning, turning we set things right.
Verse 3
We will broaden the circle, let no one stand alone,
Forge a commons of plenty where each need is known;
And the prairie wind whispers, “Keep hope burning bright,”
For the world we are sowing will bloom red and white.
(Final Refrain)
When true solidarity is gain’d,
To rise and to build we shan’t be restrain’d;
To turn, turn—organize day and night,
Till by turning, turning we set things right.
