Summary: A plea for those who cannot plead

The voices unheard

Cries go by

The silent ones

Sentenced to die

–

Sentenced to die

They did nothing wrong

Yet killing them

Brings little alarm

–

Brings little alarm

To so many in this world

For they don’t care

Since the voices aren’t heard

–

Since the voices aren’t heard

We must not ignore

Thousands agree

They deserve more

–

They deserve more

Than just being a choice

For they are loved

We are their voice

–

We are their voice

And will stand hand in hand

Changing the tide

Taking over the land

–

Taking over the land

With steps, large and small

Together we stand

This law shall fall.

–

This law shall fall

And then we’ll rejoice

The unborn will be saved

They aren’t just a “choice”
