Speak Up Lyrics by Satsang

Pyramid(s)

2017

(Intro)
Now when they came for the mailman
I didn't say a word
Cause I ain't never delivered no mail
And if he's gone that won't hurt
Till about three days went by
And I still ain't got no mail
Then the missing mailman, well he became my problem as well
When they came for my neighbor's water
I didn't say a thing
You're on your own, I got my own
And your sink is your sink
Well then the next day wouldn't you know
Well my sink didn't work no more
Shoulda stood up when my neighbor stood up
Then we'd both still have some flow
(Chorus)
Well the moral to the story is this
Is that power in numbers exists
So we gotta speak up
I said we gotta speak up
(Verse)
And when they came for the migrant workers
You couldn't hear my call
Well as a matter of fact I sat in the back
And I didn't make a peep at all
Well then the whole town was overrun
With jobs that needed done
Well I shoulda helped them like they helped me
Cause now nobody's lunch much fun
Man I shoulda spoke up
Now when the police was shootin' them brothers
Stayed hid in my house
Well not a single phrase, comment, a praise
Not a word came out my mouth
Well if we sit in complacence
Then the world's overrun by hatred
Well it's about damn time that we be reminded
That every single life is sacred
(Chorus)
Well the moral to the story is this
Is that power in numbers exists
So we gotta speak up
I said we gotta speak up up up up
(Verse)
Most people wanna live with their ride oh to the pavement
But father I find this misinformation over saturated
Turnin' off your empathy, a new form of enslavement
We can come together now, voices elevated
What's important is for us, a voice to the chorus
Speak up for the poorest, the river, the forest
Protectors of water
Our sons and our daughters
Come on now we gotta speak up
The key to revolution is the way of nonviolence
Satyagraha just like Doctor King said
The lives begin to end the day that we become silent
Lives begin to end the day that we become silent
So all the people on the ground speak up (speak up)
And all the lovers in the world speak up (speak up)
And all the tribes in the forest speak up (speak up)
From the bottom of your heart speak up (speak up)
(Chorus)
Well the moral to the story is this
Is that power in numbers exists
So we gotta speak up (speak up)
Yeah we gotta speak up
(Outro)
If we wanna live on this planet forever
We gunna have to learn to work together
And we gotta speak up (speak up)
Yeah we gotta speak up
