Do You Hear?

Do you hear the cries?

They are clear in the silence of the night

When the world is dark

The people fall apart

 

Do you hear the screams?

They are clear in the heat of battle

When all are helpless

To blinding hatred and pain

 

Do you hear the whimpering?

They are clear among the orphan children

They cannot defend themselves

They have nothing left

 

You hear all the cruelty

All the pain, the suffering

But what is this music

Just now sounding at your ear?

 

Ah, it is the sound of the people

Do you hear them singing?

Do you hear the golden trumpets

As they blare the song of hope?

 

Do you hear the voice

Of a schoolgirl on Sunday

Singing praises to the lord

Singing prayers for the lost and lonely?

 

Do you hear the voice

Of a poor, working boy

Singing merrily as he works

Singing for a better future?

 

Do you hear the people sing?

Sing of love, of peace

Of pain and loss

Of hope for tomorrow

 

Do you hear the people sing?

Do you feel the beat of their hearts?

Somewhere beyond this shadowed present

Lies a future as bright as the sun

 

Will you sing with us?

Will you work with us?

Will you listen to our song?

Will you believe this rhythm?

 

Do you join us toward our goal?

Do you try to make better the world?

Do you stand with us?

Do you hear the cries of the people?

 

Raise your voice and sing with us!

Take a risk, take your chance!

A leap of faith is all that there is left!

Do you hear the people sing?

something random that popped out of my head....inspired by a Les Mis song.
