WHO WILL SPEAK?
(Speaker: Dean Pakele – Solo: Joe Carter, Pemela Warrick-Smith)

Xin nghe bài nhạc này

The world that the Church must serve is the world of the poor.
Persecution of the Church is the result of defending the poor.
My life has been threatened many times.
I have to confess that, as a Christian, I do not believe in death without resurrection.
If they kill me, I will rise again in the Salvadoran people.
(Oscar Romero – Archbishop of El Salvador).

Who will speak for the poor and the broken?
Who will speak for the peoples oppressed?
Who will speak so their voice will be heart?
Oh, who will speak if you don’t?

Who will speak if you don’t?
Who will speak if you don’t?
Who will speak so their voice will be heart?
Oh, who will speak if you don’t?

Who will speak for the ones who are voiceless?
Speak the truth in the places of power?
Who will speak so their voice will be heard?
Oh, who will speak if you don’t?

Who will speak for the children of violence?
Who will speak for the women abused?
Who will speak so their voice will be heard?
Oh, who will speak if you don’t?

Who will speak for the shunned and the outcast?
Who will speak for all people with AIDS?
Who will speak so their voice will be heard?
Oh, who will speak if you don’t?

Who will work for the thousands of homeless?
Who will work in the ghettos and streets?
Who will work so their voice will be heard?
Oh, who will work if you don’t?

Who will care for the plants and the creatures?
Who will care for the land and the sea?
Who will work so their voice will be heard?
Oh, who will work if you don’t?
