Will Putney - Fight the Silence lyrics

Eye to eye, face to face But 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? This song we sing to silence the suffering 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 our culture's blurred Preying 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! Broken, abused, and exploited For the sick satisfaction of selfish men Only a coward would try to ignore it 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, their right to life has been taken away Bought and sold, (let's) bring an end to slavery Open our eyes! This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries? This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes? This song we sing to silence the suffering 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 or 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 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!
