For Those Who Can't Speak Songtext

von 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

Come on, come on

Oh, none of 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
