LYRICS:
Eye to eye, face to face; but still, we don't see them, we look away. Still they cry, but no one is listening. When will we open our eyes? Open our eyes! This song we sing to silence the suffering. (When will we hear their cries?) This song we sing to silence the suffering. (When will we open our eyes?) So let the world listen closely as I scream to see the freedom they deserve. Let the world listen closely! I say it's time to cross the lines our culture's blurred.
Preying on poverty, they keep us uninformed and distracted. If they can't fight for themselves, we'll fight for them. It's time to fight the silence!
Broken, abused, and exploited for the sick satisfaction of selfish men. Only a coward would try to ignore it. We can raise our voice and bring it to an end. FIght! Fight! Fight the silence! Set the captives free! Fight! Fight! Fight the silence! They're a slave to a system of apathy. Bought and sold--their right to life has been taken away. Bought and sold--(let's) bring an end to slavery. Open our eyes!
This song we sing to silence the suffering. (When will we hear their cries?) This song we sing to silence the suffering. (When will we open our eyes?) This song we sing to silence the suffering. (When will we hear their cries?) This song we sing to silence the suffering. (When will we open our eyes?) Their fate is in our hands. Will they be left there to suffer, or will somebody take a stand against a system that's been designed to deny it's victims their right to life? Let's set the captives free!
When all is said and done, we'll see justice come. It's time to fight the silence. The voice of the voiceless. (Fight the silence) We are the hope for the hopeless. (Fight the silence) Fight! Fight! Fight the silence! It's time to fight!
For Today lead vocalist Mattie Montgomery explains, "One of the most devastating issues facing our modern global culture is the issue of human trafficking. No person, of any race, religion, nationality, or economic standing should ever have to live in forced subjection to another. There are over 27 MILLION people in slavery worldwide today (this is more than at any other time in human history), and yet, in the grand scheme of things, there is very little being done politically to bring this tragedy to an end. So, in light of this heinous injustice, For Today has teamed up with the A21 Campaign to help shine a light on the issue, and raise funds to continue the global effort to rescue and rehabilitate those who have been victimized, as well as to oppose and prosecute those who are responsible for the buying and selling of other human beings."
He continues, "There is a global network of sick, selfish people preying on the desperation of the broken and impoverished. Let's stand up and let our voices be heard for the sake of these voiceless captives. It's time we stand up, speak out, and Fight the Silence."
