Concetta Hardnett Poet ABC

Voice

It feels like a whisper 
Can you hear it (hear it)
If I use it 
Will I fear it(fear it)
Will people understand
Where im coming from
Or would they care 
And with my feelings
Would they spare 
If I choose to speak up
Will they listen
Or stab me in the back
Am I Tripping (tripping)
Im not trying to become hoarse
I just want to have a voice

I hear,I listen (listen)
I pay attention 
I am a work in progress
Doesn't make my value any less
I feel , the need to be more than me 
Sometimes when you feels there's no choice
Stop being silent
Use your voice

How will the world know
You if you never spoke
Sat quiet
And just observed
When it came to you 
Not a word
But you want everybody
To hear you out
Its not about self
No that's not what's it about 
So where do you come off
With things kept
No one knows how you felt
You kept it in
In the end we all need a friend
No need to cry 
A voice can be cracked 
But never die
We all need a chance
To let our voice be heard again

I hear,I listen (listen)
I pay attention 
I am a work in progress
Doesn't make my value any less
I feel , the need to be more than me 
Sometimes when you feels there's no choice
Stop being silent
Use your voice

This song is dedicated to the children
Yes 
Your voice equals your success
How do you expect
For your voice 
To open
Its your tool 
Its your token
Dont sit there
And complain
Be the difference
Make a change
Whether its through song
Or through pain
In the end we all will gain
Whether its in life or a job
It doesn't have to be that hard 
Go for your dreams
Live in your passion
We are the world and the future
Do your best
Yes that suits ya
You'd be surprised
What you can do
With your mind
Use your voice and brilliant ideas at the same time
You can be what you want to be in life
Just have to sacrifice
Sometimes you have to try
And you'll realize 
Being heard is a choice
Dont remain silent
Use your voice

I hear,I listen (listen)
I pay attention 
I am a work in progress
Doesn't make my value any less
I feel , the need to be more than me 
Sometimes when you feels there's no choice
Stop being silent
Use your voice
