lyrics

Some people’s lights have all been dimmed
Lean out and let nothing in
Depleted, deleted
I say I am because you are
And we are all of us scarred
Not defeated, repleted

Stop the noise in our minds
Walk the divides
Our footprints merged underneath, as we sing

Our voices matter, voices matter
What matters to you, it matters to me
Our voices matter, they matter
We’re all part of this great melody
Like tone and time
Our souls align

Always waiting to leave
We’re always waiting to breathe
Unknowing, but I’m hoping
If we can go with the strides
We’ve made not just taking sides
Consoling, love flowing

The sirens blaze in our heads
While we look to the ground
But if, If we look within
We won’t go without, in this house

Our voices matter, voices matter
What matters to you, matters to me
Our voices matter, they matter
We’re all part of this great melody
Like tone and time
Our souls align

I’ll lean into discomfort
Oh, we are all in this moment

Our voices matter, they matter
What matters to you, it matters to me
Our voices matter, they matter
We’re all part of this great melody
Like tone and time
Our souls align

Our voices matter, they matter
What matters to you, it matters to me
Our choices matter, they matter
We’re all part of this great melody
Like tone and time
Our souls, souls align

Our voices matter, they matter
What matters to you, it matters to me
Our choices matter, yes they matte
The words that we sing and we speak
Like tone and time
Our souls align

Our voices matter
Voices matter
