Speak now, before the heavy irons clamps of humanity forbid you to
speak now, before society seals your lips
speak now before your friends and family draw the words from your mouth
speak now, from your heart
speak for your ancestors
speak for future generations
speak the song in your soul
speak the whispers in your heart
speak the call on your mind
let the words roll from your lips
radiate over all the earth
and before you are silenced...
SPEAK NOW
