Yes Am dat voice dat calls out
Wen Silence is heavy wit deafness
Upon d ears of my Captors
Am dat voice dat dat speaks out
Cringing d chains dat bound me
Wit d strength of a wounded Lion
Am dat voice dat had longed to speakWen dis was all a dream
Am dat voice dat was silenced
Wen i gestured to speak d truth
Am dat voice dat has d answers
To d questions dat r asked
Am dat voice no1 hears
Cos am humble not a prat
Am dat voice dat saved d day
But was lost in deir glee
Am dat voice dat cries foul
And nobody gives a ear
Am dat voice speaking now
Yet nobody knows my face
Am dat voice wit a prophecy
Yet am scorned and berated
Am dat voice dat wins
Yet am always subdued
Am dat voice dat now pleads
For an audience and an ear
Am dat voice since d ages
Am still small no rages
Am dat voice speaking for d last time
If u lik u hear wat i say
Am dat voice wen time runs out
Dat sha remind u of now
Am dat voiceIn d corner of ur street begging for a meal...
Am dat voice witout a home
Am dat voice burning in d sun
Am dat voice hungred and starved
Am dat voice naked and cold
Am dat voice weak and sickly
Am dat voice wrongly imprisoned
Am dat voice falsely accused
Am dat voice being tortured
Am dat voice dat takes d blows
Am dat voice daily abused
Am dat voice dat neva wishes ill
Am dat voice dat has hope
Am dat voice without a name
Am dat voice dat begs for a chance
Am dat voice without a place
Am dat voice dat prays good
Am dat voice of agony God hears
Am dat voice dat looks U straight in d eyes
Am dat voice dats poor
Am dat voice U call d masses
Am dat voice dat pleas Ur conscience
Am dat voice dat now speaks in groans
Am dat voice U ought to hear
Am dat voice O brother
Yes Am dat voice everywhere
Across the land in dire pain
Am dat voice dats been too mute for too long
Am dat voice languishing in langour
Am dat voice flourishing in penury
Am dat voice without a job
Am dat voice U exploit
Am dat voice U only count for taxing
Am dat voice dat on Ur list dont exist
Am dat voice like a mist
Am dat voice dat sweats in Ur pit of greed
Am dat voice u spit on
Am dat voice dat bears d burden of Ur greed
Am dat voice whose wages U withhold
Am dat voice whom U stole his mandate
Am dat voice who longs for crumbs
Am dat voice who has done U no wrong
Am dat voice asking for my dues
Am dat voice speaking for d last time
Am dat voice please hear me now...
