In the silence, tell me, can you hear The voices calling out, of the disappeared? Broken spirits, dormant dreams How much longer will justice sleep? When a lawless heart is the voice we're hearing We need freedom How much longer 'til we sing a new song? How much longer 'til we sing a new song? Hearts of saints and sinners, too Both have walked away from the destitute Call them back to sing as one A song of freedom now, a song to overcome Come on brother, lay your weapons down Where the river of justice rolls and all oppression drowns It flows with life, love and truth May the old be washed away and hearts be made anew
