Silent No Longer

Lyrics

We moved in silence with our children And the little we could carry Forced at gunpoint from our village By the oilman's military We worked in silence on the pipeline Could not speak for fear of beating Just one man in all of Burma Heard our words and gave the meaning Silent no longer I walk in silence through the jungle Knowing they will try to catch me Try to stop me as a I travel With the stories of my country Names and ages, dates and places All the bodies, all the faces Burned and tortured, raped and murdered Once in silence, now uncovered Silent no longer She crossed in silence past the border English teacher and a lawyer With the knowledge she could help us Bringing love and love of justice For the forest, sea and river For the rhino and the tiger For my self, my friends, my family For my village and my country No more danger, no more torture No more landmines, no more violence No more soldiers, no more oil men No more pipelines, no more silence Silent no longer We have the truth We have our strength We have our voice We have our love
