Strength of numbers is the Key
they have the locks
it’s time to pay the piper
for the things you’ve said and done
your an addict – and damn is it obvious
you fried your own brains
now your dead in the head,
soon they’ll be digging a grave
YOURS
freedom – I have it
I have the freedom to express my self
I have the right to PROTEST
One man -one voice -
one MOVEMENT
the civil right movement
Samuel Clemmons
He could make em accountable
Malcom X
He could make a whole generation dream
A leader of a revolution – an ANTI-SLAVERY ONE
they all proved that strength of numbers
is the key, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCj5rSoXf0k )
it is the key to breaking free.
Say it – today
they might have the locks
and your silence they use as a weapon
but if you have a voice
you have the key.
The key to breaking free
The key to finding liberty
the key to find a better path
for you & me. (https://youtu.be/TyYhd0H9bLI )
it’s up to you -
to throw off the yoke of oppression
the shackles of the mind,
It’s in your hands
The freedom that you want
and say it loud
the time has come (https://youtu.be/d4sZBgybn4k )
Don’t be too proud to rise up off your knees
and stand up to your oppressors,
it’s time to break the chain
It starts with one link,
Breaking, under pressure
One link is all it takes – to break the chain
It starts with one voice,
one voice to declare -
Enough is enough,
give me liberty or give me death,
because I would die than spend another day in chains
All is take is one step
one step on the future path
to a new a better life,
will you to take that step
Let them know how you feel
You'll see - what freedom looks like
when you chose to get up off your knees
god helps those who help themselves
means why pray for divine intervention
why pray for something - you can achieve yourself
if you just took the time - to make one change,
and say I have the power to make a change,
And if you stumble
If you fall,
don’t be to proud to keep on moving forward
even if you have to crawl.
All it takes is one man,
to find his voice,
to find the words, to make you understand,
one voice that speaks for the many
One man who has only one thing to say.
That we’re to going to take it any more
Say it now - even if you can't find the words
to express how you feel
say it - the old fashion way - with your actions
As the old saying goes
you say it best when you say nothing at all
and let your actions do all the talking
It’s in your hands
The freedom that you want
Is in your hands
you have the power
to shape a new world order
for our children’s future destiny
I have a new order for - TRUE FAITH do you have it
in power to the people
its time to make a stand and say it
any way you can
we’re sick of songs of war
and songs of hate,
that make you wanna cry
and I’m sick of songs about people
that make you wanna curl up and die.
I have a bitter desire - to hear you say it
and say its time to change the tune.
I wanna hear you singing songs of love
I wanna hear you singing songs of joy
i wanna hear you sing about how you can do anything
I wanna hear you sing songs about the power of love
and it's a glorious thing,
it can make people dance,
it can make people sing,
it can make feel on top of the world
its time to say it - and say it loud
say it proud
its time to prove there is power in love,
there is power in truth
and there is power in honesty -
and set yourselves free.
