One Voice

Listen!
What is that sound?
Ringing loud through the streets,
Ringing loud through the shelters.
Ringing far- bouncing off the newborn star,
Ringing far- echoing off the majestic earth.
The meaning clear
Listen!

Silence
It is too loud!
One candle sound can break the discrimination
One voice can change the mind of those around you
One wish can make the difference
One switch can start a revolution
End the delusion
Silence

One Voice
Is the strongest thing
It can be lit like a candle
It can light those around it without extinguishing
It can make a stand with a single phrase
It can put kindle to the growing fire
It can make the difference
Start the change
One Voice

Change
Take a stand
Start the revolution
End the oppression
Start the hope
End the hatred
Start equalization
End discrimination
Be firm as stone
Change

Reach Out Your Hand
Into darkness
Pull someone into the light
Pull them away and out of sight from hate
Hold them close in a warm embrace
Shine the light
Reach Out Your Hand

Listen!
To the
Silence!
And be the
One Voice!
To make the
Change!
And
Reach Out Your Hand!
