08 - Voices in the Street

[Intro – guitar riff] Footsteps echo Down the block, Morning rising On the clock. [Verse 1] People gathering Under open sky, Holding signs As the day goes by. Church bells ringing Through the air, Every voice saying "We are still here." [Chorus – organ swell] Voices in the street, Rising with the sun, Voices in the street, Saying we are one. From the corner store To the courthouse door, Voices in the street Calling out for more. [Verse 2] Drums are beating In the square, Neighbors standing Shoulder to shoulder there. Radio talking, But the crowd replies: Truth gets louder When the people rise. [Chorus] Voices in the street, Rising with the sun, Voices in the street, Saying we are one. From the corner store To the courthouse door, Voices in the street Calling out for more. [Bridge – organ and horns] When the quiet breaks And the silence ends, Every heart remembers Where the power begins. [Final Chorus – horns] Voices in the street, Rising with the sun, Voices in the street, Saying we are one. From the corner store To the courthouse door, Voices in the street Calling out for more.
