VERSE 1
E
In the silence, tell me, can you hear
E
The voices calling out, of the disappeared?
A
Broken spirits, dormant dreams
E
How much longer will justice sleep?
PRE-CHORUS
C#m B
When a lawless heart is the voice we’re hearing
E
We need freedom
CHORUS
A E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
A E
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
VERSE 2
E
Hearts of saints and sinners, too
E
Both have walked away from the destitute
A
Call them back to sing as one
E
A song of freedom now, a song to overcome
BRIDGE
E
Come on brother, lay your weapons down
E
Where the river of justice rolls and all oppression drowns
E
It flows with life, love and truth
E
May the old be washed away and hearts be made anew
