Harpin' Norm Lucien - Who Will Write The Words (feat. Sue and Dwight)

If I could write words like Bob Dylan
I'd write about how the times are a changing again
How this is a moment in our world and
This moment may not ever come again again

I'd write about people in power being above the law
Who lie and cheat and fool us all
For their own gain, who see power as a game
Play with the world in dangerous ways, insane

If I could write words like Odetta or Phil Ochs
I'd write words that empower us all to mend our ways
Never give up on each other, listen to each other
Compassion as the action of our days

Who will write the words
That cut through it all
Gather up our voices
So we all stand tall

If I could write words like Martin Luther King Jr. or Buffy Saint Marie
I'd write about all the needless suffering
Senseless wars, disrespect for one another, all the displaced children
Of a wounded earth, set to rise up and lash back angrily. Again

I'd speak out in words, maybe not just my own
But words at the heart of all this darkness
Words which shed light but, time after time, after time, after time
Are so often ignored and tossed aside

I may never write words that ever make a difference
But this moment may not ever come again

Who will write the words
That cut through it all
Gather up our voices
So we all stand tall

Who will write the words
That cut through it all
Gather up our voices
So we all stand tall
