Can
we
listen?
Can
we
hear
the
sound?
The
silent
tears
falling
on
the
ground
Our
children
are
crying,
look
at
the
pain
We’
re
losing
our
future
in
the
pouring
rain
We’
re
chasing
the
paper,
we’
re
chasing
the
gold
While
leaving
our
little
ones
out
in
the
cold
Working
double
shifts,
forgotten
the
heart
Watching
the
family
bond
fall
right
apart
We
trust
in
the
neighbors,
we
trust
in
the
kin
But
look
at
the
shadows
creeping
within
The
ones
we
hold
closest,
the
ones
we
invite
Are
stealing
the
stars
from
our
children’
s
night
Oh,
listen
to
the
cry
of
our
children
today
They’
re
suffering
in
silence,
fading
away
From
the
hands
that
we
trusted,
to
the
blood
in
our
veins
We’
re
breaking
their
spirits,
we’
re
forging
their
chains
It’
s
time
to
wake
up,
it’
s
time
to
be
there
To
love
and
to
listen,
to
show
that
we
care
Stop
the
abuse,
let
the
healing
begin
Let’
s
save
all
our
children
from
this
original
sin
We
look
to
the
teachers,
the
leaders
of
school
But
some
use
their
power
to
break
every
rule
A
thorn
in
the
garden,
a
rot
in
the
tree
Destroying
the
souls
that
were
meant
to
be
free
Even
the
blood,
even
the
kin
Where
does
the
darkness
begin
to
win?
We’
re
busy
with
hustle,
we’
re
busy
with
trade
While
paying
the
price
for
the
choices
we’
ve
made
Oh,
listen
to
the
cry
of
our
children
today
They’
re
suffering
in
silence,
fading
away
From
the
hands
that
we
trusted,
to
the
blood
in
our
veins
We’
re
breaking
their
spirits,
we’
re
forging
their
chains
It’
s
time
to
wake
up,
it’
s
time
to
be
there
To
love
and
to
listen,
to
show
that
we
care
Stop
the
abuse,
let
the
healing
begin
Let’
s
save
all
our
children
from
this
original
sin
No
more
excuses,
no
more
looking
away
Our
future
is
hanging
on
what
we
do
today
Protect
them
with
courage,
stand
up
for
the
weak
Give
them
the
voice
that
they’
re
too
scared
to
speak
Rise
up,
stand
tall,
let
the
truth
be
our
light
We’
re
winning
the
battle,
we’
re
ending
the
night
Oh,
listen
to
the
cry
of
our
children
today
They’
re
suffering
in
silence,
fading
away
From
the
hands
that
we
trusted,
to
the
blood
in
our
veins
We’
re
breaking
their
spirits,
we’
re
forging
their
chains
It’
s
time
to
wake
up,
it’
s
time
to
be
there
To
love
and
to
listen,
to
show
that
we
care
Stop
the
abuse,
let
the
healing
begin
Let’
s
save
all
our
children
from
this
original
sin
Let
the
healing
begin
Protect
our
children
Let
the
light
shine
in
Our
future,
our
hope (
