A Pair Of Voices

Just a pair of voices

Of daughters and of sons

Listen to the voices

Of the little ones

We can mend the broken pieces

Of a long lost pride

With a pair of voices on their side



Just a pair of voices

Of women and of men

Of blacks and whites and races

of all shades in between

Just a pair of voices

That say goodbye to slavery

And make the kinds of choices

That make history



With the voice of freedom

We shall find the way to peace

And the needed wisdom

For all the wars to cease

We can have what's ours

And not on bended knees

No more superpowers or colonies



Just a pair of voices

Of women and of men

Of blacks and whites and races

of all shades in between

Just a pair of voices

That say goodbye to slavery

And make the kinds of choices

That change history



And as the earth rejoices

As all of us are free

As we take the chances

Change the circumstances

With a pair of voices

As in you and me
