Lyrics:

By any means you got reasons
For being self-confident
You got some issues to deal with
Take a hundred percent

No more trying to meet their
Self-serving policies
Now come on raise your voice
So everybody can see

The time is ripe for hallelujah, hope and fray
Well, fate may play in your favor someday

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Our fists against the dirty business
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Our voices as antagonists
Come on, raise your voice
Make some noise
Long as we do, hey yeah
We got the choice
Our heart is the weapon to defeat that hate
Come on, stand up for what you got to say

Curb this madness for god´s sake
We gotta stop that mistake
We can save the defenseless
No matter what it takes

Turning away is easy
Awareness is just a start
Action is glorious
Just listen to your heart!

The time is ripe for hallelujah, hope and fray
Well, fate may play in your favor someday

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Our fists against the dirty business
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Our voices as antagonists
Come on, raise your voice
Make some noise
Long as we do, hey yeah
We got the choice
Our heart is the weapon to defeat that hate
Come on! Stand up for what you got to say

If you´ve been shaking your boots
We pick you up and rub off the dust
Going back to our roots
You´ll be surprised you can be robust

Vulnerable for so long
Weak individually
Together we can be so strong
United and breaking free

The time is ripe for hallelujah, hope and fray
Well, fate may play in your favor someday
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Our fists against the dirty business

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Our voices as antagonists, come on
Raise your voice
Make some noise
Long as we do, hey yeah
We got the choice
Our heart is the weapon to defeat that hate
Come on, stand up, for What you want

We can be Strong, been blind for too long
Let´s get together, we can make it better
I got to, I got to, I got to take it serious

Thanks to Sandy PPeng, the Peta organization and Darcy Grizzle for the photos and Sandra Palen Elmore for the Wild Horse footage!

  1. R.T. they will be thrilled that you put this out there, thank you! They are such wonderful people & I am lucky to know them, & lucky to have been the 1st to introduce them to wild horses in Nevada! They were in love with them long before they saw their 1st one, & have been helping where they can with donations etc. Going Global 🙂

  3. This is exactly what Bob Geldof was talking about during a music seminar at SXSW in Austin last week. He lectured about how music doesn’t have any issues any more, that it has no punch and that we will lose voices and humanity because of it. He encourages musicians to raise their voices in protest exactly how this group is doing. Bravo to them. Hope Geldof sees this sometime, somewhere.

    • I requested Bob Geldof’s
      friendship on FB and along with my request, I sent him a link to this video – I see on his wall that he is close to Bono of U2, who provided the soundtrack for James Kleinert’s documentary on wild horses that used to be called Disappointment Valley…can’t remember what it’s been retitled.
