Where do we go to lie and get our bellies fed
After a long day’s work will our needs be met
Where do we go to hide when they wish we were dead
Our bodies the sacrifice and they have no regret

Why oh why must the greed destroy us all
Here we cry, will you hear our call

Who will protect the earth our green and blue home
Listen she calling out do you hear her drone
Daily she burns and floods while we stare at our phone
Who will defend her, our sins we must atone

Why oh why must the greed destroy us all
Here we cry, will you hear our call

Why do we shrink down and make ourselves so small
We have the power if we stand for all
Speak up and make some noise, let’s all go awol
No more violence, we need an overhaul

Why oh why must the greed destroy us all
Here we cry, will you hear our call

This is a pivot point if we all say enough
Banding together, it’s time to be tough
We have the keys in hand, now we call their bluff
Take off the shackles release the handcuffs

Why oh why must the greed destroy us all
Here we cry, will you hear our call
Why oh why must the greed destroy us all
Here we cry, will you hear our call
Here we cry, will you hear our call

Hear Our Call

Haunt Me

Original music & lyrics by Sarah-beth Stilwell

Lyrics:
I sang in this key
It wasn’t for me
I tried to be something I’m not

Playing the game
Enduring your shame
You gained the fame while tightening the knot

Your hold on me took most of my life
I couldn’t see you sharpening your knife

Now I’m free, I’m free though you haunt me
Your words cut deep they still haunt me
I’m free, I’m free though you haunt me
Your words cut deep they still haunt me

You stole my heart
I played the part
While falling apart along the way

Tighter you gripped
Fog began to lift
The moment I tripped you pushed me away

Your hold on me took most of my life
Now I see you were sharpening your knife

But I’m free, I’m free though you haunt me
Your words cut deep they still haunt me
I’m free, I’m free though you haunt me
Your words cut deep they still haunt me 

Freedom comes at a price
Take your sacrifice

Because I’m free, free though you haunt me
Your words will never define me
I’m free, I’m free though you haunt me
Your words could never define me
