lyrics

if somehow we've been silenced
told to mend along
worn out by the noise they make
with money how they dazzle with their song

and if they have a purpose, Lord
I'll share it with you now
a quiet room is sparkling clear
their message well received and you're cut off

Lord in this silence don't hear no noise of good nor evil
Lord God can't take it rising fever's gonna' break me

but if we came together, love
to sound out our souls
the danger in our numbers, boy
like fire born of grey and dusty coals
'til then we dig to bury
everything we love
in pursuit of dreams they made up
mother, father, wake me- I need God

if we sing softly Lord we'll cry so loud

we've been silenced

[gotta' gun, bam bam]

about

sansfife Long Beach, California

Drum and voice represent the traditional gathering sounds, the bounce and cry heard throughout every age and every place. In acknowledging the primal resonance of drum and voice, we reclaim song. We reinvest humanity with the capacity to celebrate and lament in community.
