RAISE OUR VOICES UP © William Livesay 2014 On a cold December day, freedoms in the hot seat Rosa holding tight, pissing off the white heat Its a fight for what is right and theres no stopping that From Selma to Montgomery on bloody sunday morning The hounds of hell delivering a warning They would overcome and theres no stopping that When we raise our voices up, raise our voices up Well I can see the bigots eye everywhere I turn A preconception handed down from stem to stern Little by little we chip away and theres no stopping that Oppression is a bitter pill a thorn in every side A bleeding wound that can subjugate the mind And if we let it, the hate will over take and theres no stopping that When we Raise our voices up, when we raise our voices up Raise our voices up, raise our voices up, raise our voices up Lets raise our voices up, raise our voices up, raise our voices up! Cmon, lets testify brother! We can make this world a better, make this world a better place, make this world a better place! Let the heavens shine a light on every color And bring together every sister every brother The mark of injustice will forever be denied If we raise our voices up, raise our voices up! Let the congregation know that our souls will be redeemed Our faith is strong in Martin Luthers dream Down the line the train of hope and theres no stopping that When we raise our voices up, raise our voice up, raise our voices up!!!
