Freedom of Speech

Someday the Silent will have a voice
No cry shall ever be left unheard
The time is now to make a choice
Let us go forth and spread the word

No cry shall ever be left unheard
Their suffering needs to be no more
Let us go forth and spread the word
The lion is fiercest when he roars

Their suffering needs to be no more
We must be willing to join the fight
The lion is fiercest when he roars
It’s time to rescue them from their plight

We must be willing to join the fight
They do not deserve to be ignored
It’s time to rescue them from their plight
The pen is mightier than the sword

They do not deserve to be ignored
Why do they have to be neglected
The pen is mightier than the sword
Let us help them to be respected

Why do they have to be neglected
The time is now to make a choice
Let us help them to be respected
Someday the Silent will have a voice
