Strength in Numbers

Silence can sometimes mean compliance
Then those in power will try to gain more power beyond their reach
And if we don’t speak up against violence
Then what good is our freedom if we don’t exercise our free speech

Even if we are helpless in a situation
Words can carry the weight of humanity for those being oppressed
The voice of the people will be heard
Like thunder it will descend and the issues are sure to be addressed

Sometimes it just takes one person
To be the tipping point to get the masses to see and understand
A few may suffer the consequences
But you bet the multitudes will come in tidal waves to lend a hand

They may think that we are powerless
Or that they dominate us when they have screwed and skewed laws
Well it’s going to be a rude awakening
Because there’s strength in numbers when we take up the cause
