I'll be a voice for the voiceless I will speak words for the weak And I will sing into the silence Into the air creation breathes And I'll shine a light in the darkness For anyone left who cannot see 'Cause I know you can't fight for something Till somebody helps you believe If you listen closely You'll hear her speak I am alive I want to be loved I already feel the world is waiting for me What could I have done That you would not speak up for the voiceless Speak for me And I'll use a name for the nameless Created of spirit, flesh and blood And I will declare to the nations Reclaim your precious daughters and sons Listen closely Hear him speak I am alive I want to be loved I already feel the world is waiting for me Oh what have I done That you would not speak up for the voiceless Oh how could you not speak up for the voiceless Speak for me A whole nation is rising up To reclaim our daughters and sons We've already made our choice We will be your voice We will not stand by 'Cause we have heard your cry I am alive and I will be loved I already feel the world is waiting for me Someday you'll look in my eyes and know It was worth shining your light for the voiceless Oh, I will thank you for raising your voice for the voiceless To speak for me
