Raise your voices children, freedom is at hand
The banner’s new but the cause is old
When the ghost of bigotry tries to take command
Ain’t no human being here to be sold
*
Mothers and fathers, time to sing out strong
Too many say one disabled is a cottage industry
Because the poison called greed is lasting too long
Robbing too many of their right to be free
*
Hear me golden seniors with your wisdom soul
You who gave us our breath this day
Our grandmas and grandpas you loved us whole
Now in a world denying your say
*
This song’s for wounded warriors from near and far
Getting diminished goods when they return home
Sisters and brothers we damn well all are
So raise your voices because you’re not alone
*
Raise your voices people and sing out free
Raise your voices against all that’s wrong
Raise your voices so others may see
You raise your voices for all that can be
*
