lyrics

Sing It Louder
Dave Gunning/ Sally Spring

I am a soldier but I never had a gun
I carry songs upon my shoulders hoping we shall overcome
But on this road I'm not the only one
Who's following the thunder of the drum

I am not rich but I have more than I need
In the middle of this battlefield full of money driven greed
And the line's getting thinner now between right and wrong
You lift your voice I'll beat the drum

Across the valleys and up through these hills there's a feeling all over this land
That if we stand and rise together there is change within our power
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder

Let's sing for the living upon the land and in the sea
Let's sing out for justice let's sing what we believe
As the world spins round and round may we one by one
All join hands and beat the drum

Across the valleys and up through these hills there's a feeling all over this land
That if we stand and rise together there is change within our power
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder

So raise your voices now we can make this work
Through the eye of the storm we shall be heard

There's an echo in the distance that's played before
More suffering and hardship more cruelty and war
But before we stop and rest we must pass it on
For the young to march and beat the drum

Across the valleys and up through these hills there's a feeling all over this land
As we stand and rise together there is change within our power
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder
I am preaching to the choir to sing it louder
