From the recording All Is Well
“Battleground” — Finding your voice and the courage to use it.
She’s wrapped and covered
in a black gown
to hide temptation
from the crowd
her voice can’t carry
covered mouth
she cries for help
but there’s no sound
she cries for help
but there’s no sound
Oh oh she’s like a
parrot in her town
repeating words
repeating sounds
oh oh this is her
chance to be found
and use her voice
on the battleground
You think you’re troubled
you think your down
but when you
speak your words
you have sound
fight for freedom
you can get loud
with your own words
on the battleground
with your own words
on the battleground
Oh oh you’re not a
parrot in your town
repeating words
repeating sounds
oh oh this is your
chance to be found
and use your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
Oh oh you’re not a parrot in your town
repeating words
repeating sounds
Oh oh this is your chance to be found
and use your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
Speak your words
use your sounds
we need your voice
on the battleground
