Feed the mouth
Empowering Voices: Breaking Silence, Leading the Way
Lyrics
We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
We are determined to stay until we guide our own path.
Too many have few many saved
Many people have not been saved despite having too few resources.
If you led the way, I would follow suit
If you take the lead, I will follow your example.
But you're not leading so try something new
You are not leading, so try a different approach.
Some things are better than my favourite wish
Some things are more valuable than my favorite wish.
A fine example is a grade one kid
An excellent example is a first-grade child.
I was treated to printed words
I experienced exposure to written words.
An album cover, and "Horse Riders"
An album cover, and "Horse Riders" were part of my experiences.
You feed the mouth
You provide sustenance, possibly metaphorical or literal.
You don't put it in the pocket
You don't store it away selfishly.
Our hands are raised now, and you can't stop it
Our determination is evident, and it cannot be halted.
The numbers growing larger and you ignore it
The numbers supporting our cause are increasing, but you choose to ignore it.
I don't know it all, just what's important
I may not know everything, but I understand what is crucial.
Our passion's growing we won't live this way
Our enthusiasm is growing, and we refuse to live in this manner.
We're getting stronger and we'll rise again
We are becoming more powerful, and we will overcome again.
Defeat the hand that always let's you win
Overcome the influence that always allows you to succeed.
We'll take it back and share this world we live in
We will reclaim and share the world we inhabit.
We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
Reiteration of the determination to stay until leading their own way.
We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-You feed the mouth
Reiteration of providing sustenance, possibly metaphorical or literal.
You don't put it in your pocket
Reiteration of not selfishly hoarding resources.
Our hands are raised now, and you can't stop us
Our determination is evident, and it cannot be halted.
Our number's growing larger and you still ignore us
The numbers supporting our cause are increasing, but you still choose to ignore us.
I don't know it all, at least I'm honest
I may not know everything, but I am at least honest.
We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
Repetition emphasizing the unwavering commitment to leading their own way.
We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way (we're not leaving)
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way (we're not leaving)
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way (we're not leaving)
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way (we're not leaving)
-We're not leaving 'til we lead our way
Final reiteration of the commitment to stay until leading their own way.
