Fight the Silence - For Today

Eye to eye, face to face

Still we don’t see them, we look away

Still they cry, but no one is listening

When will we open our eyes

Open our eyes

This song we sing to silence the suffering

When will we hear their cries (When will we hear their cries)

This song we sing to silence the suffering

When will we open our eyes (When will we open our eyes)

So let the world listen closely

As I scream to see the freedom they deserve

Let the world listen closely

I say, «it's time to cross the lines of culture»

Birth bringing on poverty…

They keep us uninformed and distracted

If they can’t fight for themselves, we’ll fight for them

It’s time… to fight the silence

Go

Broken, abused, and exploited

For the sick satisfaction of selfish men

Only a coward would try to ignore it

But we can raise our voice and bring it to an end

Fight, fight, fight the silence

Set the captives free

Fight, fight, fight the silence

They’re a slave to a system of apathy

Bought and sold…

They’re right to life has been taken away

Bought and sold…

Bring an end to slavery

Open our eyes

This song we sing to silence the suffering

When will we hear their cries (When will we hear their cries)

This song we sing to silence the suffering

When will we open our eyes (When will we open our eyes)

This song we sing to silence the suffering

When will we hear their cries (When will we hear their cries)

This song we sing to silence the suffering

When will we open our eyes

Their fate is in our hands

Will they be left there to suffer

Will somebody take a stand

Against a system… that’s been designed to deny

It’s victims… their right to life

Let’s set the captives free

When all is said and done, we’ll see justice come

It’s time to fight the silence

Go

The voice of the voiceless

Fight the silence

We are the hope for the hopeless

Fight the silence

Fight, fight, fight the silence

It’s time to…

Fight
