“Let your voice be as loud as your silence” is the first song from the 5th album, Love, Herb & Reggae, from Taj Weekes & Adowa.

Whether we vote, take a knee or march in the streets with fists in the air, our collective voice can change the world. “I will unite with anyone to do right, and with no one to do wrong.” – Frederick Douglass.

LET YOUR VOICE BE AS LOUD AS YOUR SILENCE (lyrics)

let your voice
be as loud as your silence
let your voice
be as loud as silence

my oh my the thought you shy
thought you would roll over and die
my oh my they thought you mute
that you actions did refute

let your voice
be as loud as your silence
let your voice
be as loud as your silence

in confirmation or dissent
your view and thought do represent
confirmation or decent
you view and thoughts
you best present

let your voice
be as loud as your silence
let your voice
be as loud as your silence

Marshall your convictions
be clear in your thought
Marshall you convictions
thoughts can’t be bought
and enemy they made through scorn
where a friendship should have been borne

let your voice
be as loud as your silence
let your voice
be as loud as your silence

until then there’ll be no quiet
up comes a spring
there goes a riot
until then quiet won’t come
distant drum…. of revolution

a revolution, a revolution
of revolution of revolution

let your voice
be as loud as your silence
let your voice
be as loud as your silence
