Let your voice be
loud and clear.
Resist the onslaught
of vicious attacks
On all the values that you hold dear.
Sing, Democracy! Let
the sound
Of freedom muffle
the sounds of suppression.
Do not cower when
threatened by
Corrupt abuse of
power and aggression.
Sing, Democracy! Do
not let
Extremists stifle
your beautiful voice.
When your music
overpowers
The sounds of
tyranny, rejoice!
Sing, Democracy,
louder yet
When voices of
ignorance try to subdue
Your song of hope
for humanity,
For you know what is
honest and true.
Sing, Democracy!
Everywhere,
Let truth, honor,
and freedom thrive.
But always know that
you must be
Vigilant if you want
to survive.
Sing, Democracy,
lest your voice
Be stifled forever,
and all you've known
About the value of
freedom and justice
Turns to a whimper
and dies with a moan.
