Bound​(​AndGagged​)​4Life

from Set Sail by Dan Morose

lyrics

You stand side by side in perfect lines
hold hands and stare at them in silence
superstition and tradition: overturn those bowls in heaven
They watch the judgment pour from your eyes
do you really think that keeping quiet is the key to changing lives?

Silence has never changed a thing
But you'll keep trying anyway
to get the sense that you've fulfilled responsibility
You stick close to the crowd
bound to a movement that isn't moving
but bite your tongue, 'cause disagreement is dishonoring

"Murders and blasphemers!"
You pray, "May God have mercy on you!"
but you show no mercy for them
and you're the answer to your own prayer

Life isn't a word written with a pen
it's the essence of Truth spoken
It paces back and forth
on the tip of your tongue waiting for an exit

It's sealed in by a red tape distraction
designed to block the words of life
You gamble their lives away on a dream
and you're losing every time
Uncover your mute mouths
and say something worth something,
and try to show your value for their lives,
Help to change hearts and minds.

Silence has never changed a thing
but you'll keep trying anyway...
