Voice
He had a voice once
He could shout
And he asked why?
♞♜♝
But they couldn’t answer
His questions.
♞♜♝
So they came and took
His voice away.
♞♜♝
They locked it in a bare
Tomb, called H
♞♜♝
But a lark carried his voice
Out over the high walls
And he became an MP.
♞♜♝
Now his voice is as loud
As the million voices
He died to free.
