Silence has a sound that only I can hear.
I hear screams of frustration that are far and near.
Silence has a sound that only I can feel.
There's so many people hurting, and it seems unreal.
Silence has a sound that only I can see.
In 2020, my 20/20 sight moves me.
Silence has a sound that only I can feel.
Right hand on my chest, I question, Should I kneel?
Silence has a sound that only I can taste,
As I scream, I pray this will go away!
I’m tired of thinking everything is okay;
I wake up to the same stories everyday.
Alarm clock rings. It’s time to wake up and see,
But what's liberty if my people aren't free?
