for those who can't speak

Singer:tenth avenue north

i see the glory of the lord every time the sun rises

i hear the unheard screams of a broken heart

because every day a son dies

27 million slaves but no plantation

27 million slaves

all different races

this is not the picture the lord painted in genesis

silence is our enemy

our voices can end it

i have dreamed of a kingdom coming where

evil drowns in mercy streams

i want to see those rivers of justice

so i use my voice for those who can't speak

i will use my voice for those who can't speak

yeah

yeah

when it's all said and done

yeah

i pray that everything we said is done

i don't want my son to say i was one of the ones

that watched 27 million suffer and never say

no

no

i won't be that

i don't deserve a mic if i ain't got no feedback

bring back every girl from the west to the east that

he crafted for his glory

not for making you green backs

i dream that

every ounce of brokenness and disease that

bring that to the cross

believe that he redeems that

sees that type of world that my daughters can breathe in

where the beautiful feet that go where the needs at

i have dreamed of a kingdom coming where

evil drowns in mercy streams

i want to see those rivers of justice

so i use my voice for those who can't speak

i will use my voice for those who can't speak

come on

come on

oh

none of us here are just a number

we all have a name like any other

there's breath inside your lungs

and you are my brother

my god

when will we stand

stand together

i want to be the kingdom coming where

evil drowns in mercy streams

oh

let me see those rivers of justice

so i use my voice for those who can't speak

i will use my voice for those who can't speak

i use my voice for those who can't speak
