Another horrendous act passed
Another angry mob stood silent
“We will fight to the very last!”
They would scream
But when the time came to pass
That comment never existed it would seem

So speak up speak up my friend
Speak up to avoid world’s end

Another awful leader chosen
More outraged citizens keep mouths shut tight
Are voices become frozen?
When did we become afraid to fight?
Has this not happened before?
I thought we said not anymore

So speak up speak up my friend
Speak up to avoid world’s end

A new war declared
New people born to be killed
The power was in your hands, as you just stared
Shall we wait for all life to be stilled?
Learn from your mistakes
Advice it seems that must be impossible to take

So speak up speak up my friend
Speak up to avoid world’s end

World War III is being planned
And now the power is in your hand
Will you stand silent like so many others?
Will you watch from the background the tears of so many mothers?
Sons, husbands, family, dead all
Will you stand silent and watch the world fall?

So speak up speak up my friend
Speak up to avoid world’s end

Speak up speak up my friend
Speak up if you wish to amend
