For the Ones Silenced
By Distinguished Honorary Alumni Vocal Media Dr. Matthew Primous
There's no holding back
There's no holding on
This is not the time to back down
This is not the time to retreat
For I speak for the ones that were silenced
Courage I take
Fear I break
Danger I am not afraid
For I speak for the ones that were silenced
Hurt no more
Offended no more
My present is in my hands
For I speak for the ones that were silenced
History is what you make
History is what you are
I am not afraid
For I speak for the ones that were silenced
You may tortured me
You may persecuted me
You may accused me
For I speak for the ones that were silenced
Those that were silenced in history
Those that were silenced in life
Those graves are not forgotten
But Ah I still remember
For I speak for the ones that were silenced
Their lives echo in my mind
Their voices resonated within me
I am not afraid
For I speak for the ones that were silenced
And I cannot remain silent
