The silent tears go unheard The biggest fears come at night Others choose to standby While others choose to fight By taking where they want to sit Or taking slaves on a dangerous nighttime trip Why is all of this go by Day by day Not a single tear shed Silence won't come to the broken hearted cry The powerful try to silence The hateful sin Crimes committed to one another Just so the better person can win People do you not see How this world falls How we need unity White is no better than black Nor black better than white For this country was formed For every race and color To have the same right The right to live Love without end The right to success With new adventures waiting around the bend Are you so proud that you will not You can not You refuse to see That this country was founded Is being fought for People like you People like me
