HEAR MY SONG
by Travis Dow
Arrangement by Tom Bishel
“Someone wrote a song about the holocaust. Said think about it
So my words won’t be lost.
That song never made it to the radio. Never saw the people
That really need to know.
Someone wrote a song from experience, Said listen up
It’s a matter of great importance
That you hear my story
Look through my eyes
For just a moment, so that you realize
That I gave my life for all
Come on and hear my song.
Yeah, Someone wrote a song about the president. Said look into it.
Who does he really represent?
Someone say a prayer for this democracy
This song of truth- It never got to you and me.
Now they’re knocking on your door for long
Come on and hear my song.
*Listen for me in the whispering wind, don’t forget, our destiny
when rivers rage we must not relent, the truth we fought, to
defend, will set us free
Someone wrote a song about humanity.
He said imagine (it’s not)just a dream, this world I see
and there were tears,
Tears of joy were wept
Then just a silence
and now his song is all we have
I gave my life for all, I gave my life for all
Hear my story and
Hear my song”
