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
