Lyrics

(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
