Voice For the Voiceless
Behind the walls are cries of our daughters and sons
Most teenagers are hiding their pain through their smiles
The sound of rain gives them an opportunity to scream
So that God may hear their cries
Hoping for God's hand to give them a help
All hope seems lost, but keep the faith
The devil seems to torment them each day
While most cement their feelings due to hopelessness
The pain breaks a soul, divides the mind and confuses the heart
What's love when your heart is harden?
Your guilt kills you as your burden takes you to the ground
We ain't meant to judge cause we have our inquites
Voice of the voiceless, maybe I speak on behalf of an individual
Screams are heard yet most ignore the cries of many made by heart
Our society, can you hold the hands of the leaders of tomorrow
Am saying no to rape to all genders
Because both men and women are raped on daily basis
Imagine the pain that a heart holds onto yet breaking a soul.
Have to say that what challenges we face
Let's share our troubles, since others can't face their reflection
Suicidal Ideations filling ones mind
Questioning their worth in this world,
Drowning their sorrows with alcohol.
Knocking on Heavens' door yet walking on hell's path
They asking God why they living yet their treated inhuman
Damn, the pain grows stronger and happiness is gained through alcohol and drugs
When will this pain and suffering come to an end.
For those who are in this situation
Know that you ain't alone in the struggle
Always be strong, and look for a friend who won't judge
But accept you the way you are
Stars can be seen through the darkness
Don't lose hope my brother, my sister
Voice for the voiceless, hope you have heard their cries.
