for today
fight the silence
Eye to eye, face to face Still we don't see them, we look away Still they cry, but no one is listening When will we open our eyes Open our eyes This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes So let the world listen closely As I scream to see the freedom they deserve Let the world listen closely I say, its time to cross the lines of culture Birth bringing on poverty They keep us uninformed and distracted If they can't fight for themselves, we'll fight for them Its time to fight the silence (go) Broken, abused, and exploited For the sick satisfaction of selfish men Only a coward would try to ignore it But we can raise our voice and bring it to an end Fight, fight, fight the silence Set the captives free Fight, fight, fight the silence They're a slave to a system of apathy Bought and sold They're right to life has been taken away Bought and sold Bring an end to slavery Open our eyes This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes Their fate is in our hands Will they be left there to suffer Will somebody take a stand Against a system that's been designed to deny Its victims their right to life Let's set the captives free When all is said and done, we'll see justice come Its time to fight the silence (go) The voice of the voiceless Fight the silence We are the hope for the hopeless Fight the silence Fight, fight, fight the silence Its time to fight
