“Something That Needs To Be Said” by Danny Boy
Enough!
My choice is to rejoice
In the liberation of my own voice
The sound of struggle is what keeps me silent
My screams of injustice might as well be whisper.
But I tell you NOW
There is not louder sound to wake up to,
Then a whisper………
Of truth
So I ask you now to WAKE UP!
Wake up to the sound of your own voice
Stand tall and with a deep breath
Inhale knowledge
Inhale compassion
Inhale truth
Then exhale
Exhale, so your voice carries for all to hear.
Speak to the innocent
So our children will shine
Love, patience, soon you’ll find
God lives in a child’s eyes
Speak to the wise
Learn from where you come from
Relearn your traditions and vow to them alive
Honored to walk a mile in their shoes
Learn to appreciate,
Without them is no you.
Speak for the forgotten
Your voice will reach through the bars that hold them
My brothers, our broken English helps us spit in the face of
the system that enslaves us
Stay true to your convictions and you can never be
spiritually convicted
We are with you always and your fight will not die with us.
If youcan hear my voice,
YOU CAN NEVER BE SILENT AGAIN!
I wanted to share this with everyone so long ago, but I was not sure about it. Now, I’ll never be silent again!!!!! Yoshi
