Strength of numbers

the key

By Red SkyePublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Strength of numbers is the Key

to breaking free,

they have the locks

do you have the keys

When will you learn

it’s time to pay the piper

for the things you’ve said and done

your an addict – and damn is it obvious

you fried your own brains

now your dead in the head,

soon they’ll be digging a grave

YOURS

freedom – I have it

I have the freedom to express my self

I have the right to PROTEST

One man -one voice -

one MOVEMENT

the civil right movement

Samuel Clemens

He could make em accountable

Malcom X

He could make a whole generation dream

Abraham Lincoln

A leader of a revolution – an ANTI-SLAVERY ONE

Micheal Jackson

Said enough is enough

you make me wanna scream

they all proved that strength of numbers

is the key,

it is the key to breaking free.

Say it – today

they might have the locks

and your silence they use as a weapon

but if you have a voice

you have the key.

The key to breaking free

The key to finding liberty

the key to find a better path

for you & me.

It’s in your hands,

it’s up to you -

to throw off the yoke of oppression

the shackles of the mind,

It’s in your hands

The freedom that you want

It’s in your hands

if you speak up

and say it loud

the time has come

Don’t be too proud to rise up off your knees

and stand up to your oppressors,

it’s time to break the chain

It starts with one link,

Breaking, under pressure

One link is all it takes – to break the chain

It starts with one voice,

one voice to declare -

Enough is enough,

give me liberty or give me death,

because I would die than spend another day in chains

All is take is one step

one step on the future path

to a new a better life,

will you to take that step

Let them know how you feel

And if you stumble

If you fall,

don’t be to proud to keep on moving forward

even if you have to crawl.

All it takes is one man,

to find his voice,

to find the words, to make you understand,

one voice that speaks for the many

One man who has only one thing to say.

That we’re to going to take it any more (https://youtu.be/V9AbeALNVkk )

Now the time has come ( https://youtu.be/eHoP_cJPU20 )

It’s in your hands

The freedom that you want

Is in your hands

you have the power

to shape a new world order

for our children’s future destiny

we’re sick of songs of war

and songs of hate,

There will be sad songs

that make you wanna cry

and I’m sick of songs about people

that make you wanna curl up and die.
