No air moves,
as a cry is felt across the sea
Finally forced to search for understanding,
or so we thought
Confronted at last with the dark truth,
In each one of us
That we can’t change the world
Not like some thought
Chorus:
Now I know what it will take for this nation to change
How it’s not just bombs and airplanes
How it takes people around the world
Fighting back with peace and not war
Here we are now
Still trying to speak truth to power
With our thoughts held together
Yet each voice speaking apart their own truth
To this supposed power
Chorus
I know my actions are truth and
I know your words are power
I know my actions are truth and
I know your words are power
So I’ll speak it, I’ll dream it, I’ll do it, I’ll think
it
Cause I know my words are power
Speak your truth to power
