Not In Our Town

When the Klan came to Montana, they made no grand parade. No hooded knights on horseback, no banners boldly raised. Spray paint and bomb threats, a voice on the telephone line: "Kill the niggers, kill the homos, Jew bitch die." Five-year-old Isaac woke screaming in the gloom. "Mommy, there's a man at my window, looking into my room." "Son, there's nothing out there but the shadows branches make." The little boy went back to sleep, his parents lay awake. For Isaac's bedroom window showed their faith for all to see The candles of the menorah stood for hope and memory. The next night, out of the darkness, a cinder block was hurled. It shattered Isaac's window, and the boundaries of his world. Refrain: One moment of conviction, one voice quiet and clear, One act of compassion, it all begins here. No safety now in silence, we've got to stand our ground. No hate. No violence. Not in our town. The cop was not unfriendly. He said, "Ma'am, if I were you, I'd take down that menorah, the Star of David, too." Isaac's mother Tammy said, "I'm sure that's good advice. But how then could I ever look my children in the eye?" Then at their doorway a little girl did stand A gift for her schoolmate in her outstretched hand. A menorah drawn in crayon, from a Gentile to a Jew It read, "To Isaac, From Rebecca, I'm sorry this happened to you." Refrain
