Voices

Here we stand, at life's divide In the shadows of promises that hide Words, bright as day, now turn to night In our hearts, a battle, a silent fight Are we just crying into the void, unheard in the rage In this game of power, are we just a page When the few silence the voice of us all Is this the truth on which we fall Our voices, small stones in a vast sea Their echoes lost, but our spirits aren't free In this maze of power, it's pretty pretense, this illusion of choice We're screaming for justice with one voice Are we just whispers against the storm, fading in the night In the theatre of the mighty, are we out of sight When our chorus drowns in the halls of power Will our cries for fairness ever flower Are we just whispers against the storm, fading in the night In the theatre of the mighty, are we out of sight When our chorus drowns in the halls of power Will our cries for fairness ever flower In every tear, there's a fire, an unspoken tale For a world where truth and courage prevail In our defiance, there's a story, in our pain, a hidden truth A quest for a dawn, a renewal of youth Are we just shadows in their game, faces without a name In this journey for change, is our pain the same When the heart of our world feels our strife Can we hope for our voices to come to life Here we stand, where paths diverge Holding onto a hope as our souls emerge In the power of our voice, in the depth of our plight We'll await the dawn, after this longest night
