Lyrics

Can you hear them now
are they finally getting through
your brothers and your sisters
are crying out to you

Do you feel ashamed for all the hatred
that you spread
for all the lives you've ruined
with all your craziness

Can you her them now
are they finally getting through

Do you understand that they've
finally had enough
they're not waiting anymore
and this time
they're not giving up
can you hear them now
are they finally getting through
(to you)

Can't you see we're tired
of asking for what's right
and we don't understand why everythin
has to be
such a God awful fight

Can you hear us now
are we finally getting through?

Listen,
we will say their names
we will speak their truth
we will not be silent any longer
and we are
not afraid of you

can you hear us now?
are we finally getting through?
can you hear us now?
are we finally getting through?








Listen
we will say their names
we will speak their truths
we will not be silent any longer
and we are not afraid of you
