Go out and tell our story

Let it echo far and wide

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

How justice was our battle and how justice was denied

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

And say to those who blame us for the way we chose to fight (chose to fight)

That sometimes there are battles which are more than black or white (black or white)

And I could not put down my sword (ah-ah)

When justice was my right (was my right)

Make them hear you (ah)

Make them hear you (hear you)

Go out and tell our story to your daughters and your sons (go tell your story to your sons)

Make them hear you (oh)

Make them hear you (you, you)

And tell them in our struggle, we were not the only ones (and in our struggle, not the ones)

Make them hear you (oh)

Make them hear you (oh, oh)

Your sword can be a sermon

Or the power of the pen (of the pen, of the pen)

Teach every child to raise his voice

And then, my brothers, then

Will justice be demanded by ten million righteous men (ah-ah, righteous men)

Make them hear you (oh)

When they hear you, I'll be near you (hear you, near you)

Again (hear you)

Again (again)

Make them hear you again (again)
