Come Sing a Song for the Voiceless

about

We are all part of the planet Earth and her ecosystem. We are animals, we depend on animals, animals depend on us, and sometimes we aren't as kind as we could be. One major difference between us and those we term animals is our relative verbosity. So come sing a song for the voiceless

lyrics

I am your constant silent shadow
Words fail me to express each little thing
But a poet read my meanings
In the furrows of my brow
And set them to this melody I bring

Come sing a song for the voiceless
All the dependent and choiceless
Who cannot speak our minds
I hope that you'll be kind
And come sing a song for the voiceless

I am your echo in the wildness
My cries reverberate among the pines
For I cannot use your language
Just as your scholars do
But neither have they tried to speak in mine

Come sing a song for the voiceless
All the dependent and choiceless
Who cannot speak our minds
I hope that you'll be kind
And come sing a song for the voiceless

We've been put in cages down the ages like a slave
We've been skinned alive, been deprived, roughly shaved
We've been cooked and eaten, soundly beaten, left for dead
But we have blood in our hearts and thoughts in our heads

So come sing a song for the voiceless
All the dependent and choiceless
Who cannot speak our minds
I hope that you'll be kind
And come sing a song for the voiceless
All the dependent and choiceless
Who cannot speak our minds
I hope that you'll be kind
And come sing a song for the voiceless

Lewis Mullen Glasgow, UK

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
