Eye to eye, face to face Still we don't see them, we look away Still they cry, but no one is listening When will we open our eyes?
Open our eyes
This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries? This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes?
So let the world listen closely As I scream to see the freedom, they deserve Let the world listen closely I say it's time to cross the line
Preying on poverty They keep us uninformed and distracted If they can't fight for themselves We'll fight for them It's time to fight the silence
Broken, abused, and exploited For the sick satisfaction of selfish men Only a coward would try to ignore it But we can raise our voice And bring this to an end
Fight, fight, fight the silence Set the captives free Fight, fight, fight the silence They're a slave to a system of apathy
Bought and sold, their right of life has been taken away Bought and sold, bring an end to slavery
Open our eyes
This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we hear their cries? This song we sing to silence the suffering When will we open our eyes?
Their fate is in our hands Will they be left there to suffer? Will somebody take a stand? Against a system that's been designed To deny its victims their right to life Let's set the captives free
When all is said and done We'll see justice come It's time to fight the silence The voice of the voiceless Fight the silence We are the hope for the hopeless Fight the silence Fight, fight, fight the silence It's time to fight
