lyrics

Erase the words you wrote
They'll erase the tongue you spoke
If it's a sound loud enough to hear through centuries of fear
Whose voice is rising?

The culture has its king
Oh it's been boiling just beneith
He sang to the pain it's bring those good days back again
Call it tax not tithing

But it is all of us
who will sit on the back of the bus
We're all on here for the ride it's everybody pick a side
distract us from who's driving

With all the facts and proof
let's head up to the roof
wondering if they don't believe or they have just that much greed
The water's rising

They're going to play those cards again
You were born into your sin
While money rules the war machine send the soldiers back again
to keep this country thriving

But we can not fall into despair
watching moths to the flame of all they burn
We will not abandon truth and love
We will call their names while we still have the words

It feels too big to overcome
when you're standing there as one
What is the freedom song they told us we had so wrong
to stop our organizing

So they can't erase the words we wrote
can't erase the tongue we spoke
Make a sound loud enough to hear through centuries of fear
It's our voices rising!
