Crystal Eastman was a warrior of yore,
Mover and shaker, path breaker for sure.
Voice for the victims of the captains of wealth,
The mother of all workplace safety and health.
Oh,
Crystal Eastman, your spirit's alive and risin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Sister Eastman, your cause is alive and thrivin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never never die.
She took her pen to the mills and factories of hell,
Shined a light where the dead and injured fell.
Wastelands of pain and injustice she saw;
She wrote the first workers' compensation law.
Oh,
Crystal Eastman, your spirit's alive and risin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Sister Eastman, your cause is alive and thrivin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Courageous, audacious, always on the front lines,
Hell-raiser, trail-blazer, way ahead of her time.
She led the fight to right so many wrongs;
Charming, disarming, so beautiful and strong.
Oh,
Crystal Eastman, your spirit's alive and risin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Sister Eastman, your cause is alive and thrivin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Organizer, rebel-rouser, brilliant and wise,
Her words were music, there was fire in her eyes.
She sowed the seeds, co-wrote and paved the way
For the ACLU and the ERA.
Oh,
Crystal Eastman, your spirit's alive and risin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Sister Eastman, your cause is alive and thrivin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
She fought for women's rights and equal pay overdue,
Said, "Mothers raisin' kids are working people too".
Her life was a torch that burned for liberty;
A symbol of the free women to be.
Oh,
Crystal Eastman, your spirit's alive and risin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Sister Eastman, your cause is alive and thrivin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never die.
Code-pink resister to the robber barons' wars,
Outspoken sister for the peace and freedom force.
She was black-balled, and dragged through the mud,
But in the end they couldn't bury her love
Oh
Crystal Eastman, your spirit's alive and risin',
Crystal Eastman, your name will never never die.
Crystal Eastman, the time has arrived to tell the world
about the love that you gave,
The families and the lives that you saved.
Oh Crystal Eastman, she fought for peace and
Crystal Eastman, she fought the beast man.
Oh Crystal Eastman,
Hail Crystal Eastman,
Hail - Crystal Eastman.
Mover and shaker, path breaker for sure.
