Voice


I have lost my voice in the crowd of thousands from the top of my lungs I screamed down from the mountains my vocal cords ache from the shouting in the streets chanting and yelling for the rights of my people I don't have the strength to speak a word but ill be damned if I go unheard And when my voice gets back to full volume I hope that blacks and whites may sing together
