For The Children

SPEAK OUT
Words and Music Stephen Randall
(Inspired by First They Came, by Pastor Martin Niemöller)

First they came for immigrants
And we did not speak out
‘Cos we are not immigrants
We did not speak out

Then they came for diversity
And we did not speak out
We watched the Dream fading
We did not speak out

CHORUS
Speak out
Hey
Speak out my friends 
Or you’re no friends of mine
Speak out
Hey
Speak out my friends
They’re coming for us next time

Then they came for our choices
And we did not speak out
Laws did not protect us
We did not speak out

Then they came for the truth
And we did not speak out
We thought lies would not survive
We did not speak out

CHORUS
Speak out
Hey
Speak out my friends 
Or you’re no friends of mine
Speak out
Hey
Speak out my friends
They’re coming for us next time

BREAK

CHORUS
Speak out
Hey
Speak out my friends 
Or you’re no friends of mine
Speak out
Hey
Speak out my friends
‘Cos they’re coming for us next time
