Fight The Silence Lyrics

Eye to eye, face to face
But still we don't see them, we look away
Still they cry, but no one is listening
When will we open our eyes?
Open our eyes!

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e111382-for_today~fight_the_silence_lyrics.html ]
This song we sing to silence the suffering
When will we hear their cries?
This song we sing to silence the suffering
When will we open our eyes?

So let the world listen closely
As I scream to see the freedom they deserve
Let the world listen closely!
I say it's time to cross the lines our culture's blurred.

Preying on poverty, they keep us uninformed and distracted.
If they can't fight for themselves, we'll fight for them.
It's time to fight the silence!

Broken, abused, and exploited
For the sick satisfaction of selfish men.
Only a coward would try to ignore it.
We can raise our voice and bring it to an end.

Fight! Fight! Fight the silence!
Set the captives free!
Fight! Fight! Fight the silence!
They're a slave to a system of apathy.
Bought and sold, their right to life has been taken away.
Bought and sold, (let's) bring an end to slavery.
Open our eyes!

This song we sing to silence the suffering.
When will we hear their cries?
This song we sing to silence the suffering.
When will we open our eyes?
This song we sing to silence the suffering.
When will we hear their cries?
This song we sing to silence the suffering.
When will we open our eyes?

Their fate is in our hands.
Will they be left there to suffer,
Or will somebody take a stand
Against a system that's been designed to deny
Its victims their right to life?
Let's set the captives free!

When all is said and done, we'll see justice come.
It's time to fight the silence.
The voice of the voiceless.
Fight the silence!
We are the hope for the hopeless.
Fight the silence!
Fight! Fight! Fight the silence!
It's time to fight!
