Listen to the Voices

Old man

Your race is run

You think it's over

It's only begun

Child is born

Who has to face

The world you're leaving

A dangerous place

Listen to the voices

Cryin' to be free

Can we be the promise that we promised to be?

Love and understandin'

Are better than a war

People just laughin' 'cause they've heard it before

Night chills

In Plenty Town

Cardboard hotels

They sleep on the ground

Hard choices, how to respond?

Red or rosé

With the duck à l'orange?

Listen to the voices

So easy to ignore

Choruses of old folk scared to open the door

Livin' in the shadows

And dying in the cold

Inner city jungle ain't no place to grow old

Helpless

We'll never be

Though justice

Is so hard to see

Kindness, yes, that same old song

But don't stop singing

There's so much strength in kindness

Listen to the voices

Cryin' to be free

Cryin' to be free

Can we be the promise

Can we be the promise

That we promised to be?

Love and understandin'

Better than a war

Better than a war

People just laughin'

People just laughin' 'cause they've heard it before

Listen to the voices

Cryin' to be free

Can we be the promise that we promised to be?

Listen to the voices

Listen to the voices

Cryin' to be free

Cryin' to be free

Can we be the promise

Can we be the promise

That we promised to be? (Promised to be)

Love and understanding

Love and understanding

Are better than a war

Better than a war

People just laughin'

People just laughin' 'cause they've heard it before
