Get Your Voice Heard
Get Your Voice Heard
A long time ago
Fifty plus years to be exact
We knew how to protest
It wasn’t on Facebook or Twitter
It wasn’t by just writing letters
We took our place in the world
With a voice that could not be ignored
We took over college campuses
We marched in the streets
Chanting words designed to change the world
We got arrested and went to jail
But we got our point across
We never gave up until life changed
Until the President listened
The time has come again
Stand up and shout
Fill the streets
Take over campuses and parks
Get arrested if you have to
Just get your voice heard
Make the government listen
Make them make the changes
Just do not ever give up
