A song calling for the end of violence, whether it be war, injustice toward the poor, violence in the home, or racial discrimination.
When the politicians' lies call us to war once more
Justifying homicide and calling it patriotism
When they tell the young of our nation to kill and destroy.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
When people live in squalor, oppression and poverty
And there's a war against the poor and nameless the victims die
When greed knows no satisfaction but its own need.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
When a woman can't live in safety in her own home
where the children lies awake at night waiting for the silence to come
dreading each time that angry voices are raised.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
When just because of their race a person is declared second class
inferior, somewhat less, lower, not quite human
where discrimination weighs down so heavily.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
I'm going to let my voice be heard.
