Lyrics
Grandma Joan Norman fought for the trees Ashland County jailed her but now she is free. With fire in her belly and steel in her will. Grandma Joan Norman is marchin' still. Now she's gone and left us but don't be too sad. She's marching with Gaia and that ain't so bad. With fire in her belly and steel in her will. Grandma Joan Norman is marchin' still. Forty years marching for diversity She marched for you and she marched for me. With fire in her belly and steel in her will. Grandma Joan Norman is marchin' still. Grandma Joan Norman and Martin Luther King They marched for freedom let the liberty bell ring. With fire in their bellies and steel in their wills. Grandma Joan & Martin are marchin' still. Come with fire in your bellies and love in your hearts Stand and be counted for the fight's long and hard. With fire in our bellies and steel in our will. The people are risin' and we're marchin' still. Grandma Joan Norman fought for the trees Ashland County jailed her but now she is free. With fire in her belly and steel in her will. Grandma Joan Norman is marchin' still. Grandma Joan Norman is marchin' still
