In politics, the Right, right-wing and rightist have been defined as support or acceptance of social hierarchy. Inequality is viewed by the Right as either inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, whether it arises through traditional social differences or from competition in market economies.
The political terms Right and Left were coined during the French Revolution, and were a reference to where people sat in the French parliament. Those who sat to the right of the president's chair were broadly supportive of the institutions of Ancien Régime The original right in France was composed of those supporting hierarchy, tradition, and clericalism. The Right invoked natural law and divine law to explain the normality of social inequalities. Use of the expression le droit (the right) became more prominent in France after the restoration of its monarchy in 1815, when it was applied to the Ultra-royalists.
In English-speaking countries it was not until the 20th century that the term "right" and "left" were generally applied to their own political affairs. The meaning of right-wing thus "varies across societies, historical epochs, and political systems and ideologies." Although the term originally designated traditional conservatives and reactionaries, its usage has been extended to apply to liberal conservatives, classical liberals, libertarian conservatives, Christian democrats and certain types of nationalists.
If I had the right
I would take you by the hand
Share with you my life, show you everything I am
If I had the right
Then I would tell you that I love you
I do
If I had the right
I would look into your eyes
Sweep away all your pain, from me you cannot hide
If I had the right
I would say everything is alright
Alright
If I had the right
You would never have to fear
I’d be your guiding light
And love would never disappear
If I had the right-then
We could live this dream together, forever
Society would judge us and say that we were wrong
But is there anyone who can cast a stone?
Though I may never have you
I’ll always love you…..
If I had the right
I would take you by the hand
Share with you my life
Give you everything I can
If I had the right
Then I could love you
If I had the right
Then I could love you
If I had the right…the right…the right….then
I could love you…then I could love you…
If I had the right…the right…the right…
Just give me the right
So I can love you
I need to love you….love you
