Building Sustainable Earth Community

Break The Silence
by Jim Herrmann

Chorus
Break the Silence share the pain
Let others know that you feel the same
Let's talk about all we have to gain
It's time for us to change the game

Verse
Everyone has their own fears
Our culture says don't share those tears
Suck it up keep it inside
That help to maintain the divide

chorus

We don't talk about our inner desires
We don't discuss pushing others higher
That keeps us divided and weak
Don't you think it's time we all speak

chorus

Bridge
It's up to us to begin to conspire
Before mother earth begins to expire
The great turning will require
Each of us to surely perspire
Check the facts it's time to act
We must extract from global empire

chorus

Ending
We are the people we've been waiting for
We are the people we've been waiting for
We are the people we've been waiting for
To lead us to a better life
To lead us to a better life
Don't be afraid to lead
