Ragtime movie - Make Them Hear You lyrics

<br>

COAL HOUSE:<br>

<br>

GO OUT AND TELL THE STORY.<br>

LET IT ECHO FAR AND WIDE.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

<br>

HOW THAT JUSTICE WAS OUR BATTLE AND HOW JUSTICE WAS DENIED.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

<br>

AND SAY TO THOSE WHO BLAME US<br>

FOR THE WAY WE CHOSE TO FIGHT<br>

THAT SOMETIMES THERE ARE BATTLES <br>

WHICH ARE MORE THAN BLACK OR WHITE.<br>

<br>

AND I COULD NOT PUT DOWN MY SWORD <br>

WHEN JUSTICE WAS MY RIGHT.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

<br>

MY PATH MAY LEAD TO HEAVEN OR HELL<br>

AND GOD WILL SAY WHAT'S BEST<br>

BUT ONE THING HE WILL NEVER SAY<br>

IS THAT I WENT QUIETLY TO MY REST.<br>

<br>

GO OUT AND TELL OUR STORY<br>

TO YOUR DAUGHTERS AND YOUR SONS.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

<br>

PROCLAIM IT FROM YOUR PULPIT.<br>

IN YOUR CLASSROOM WITH YOUR PEN<br>

TEACH EVERY CHILD TO RAISE HIS VOICE<br>

AND THEN, MY BROTHERS, THEN<br>

<br>

WILL JUSTICE BE DEMANDED<br>

BY TEN MILLION RIGHTEOUS MEN.<br>

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU.<br>

WHEN THEY HEAR YOU<br>

I'LL BE NEAR YOU AGAIN.<br>

<br>
