The Courageous Call

In silence, shadows stretch and grow

A quiet storm, a brewing woe

The heart knows when it's been wronged

A song unsung, a bell un-gonged

 

Yet fear can bind the strongest will

A voice suppressed, a soul kept still

But deep within, the truth ignites

A spark that yearns for open sights

 

Why let injustice steal your light?

Why let the wrongs remain in night?

The power lies within your voice

To speak, to stand, to make a choice

 

The world may try to hush your call

But courage rises, standing tall

For every word you dare to say

Is a step towards a brighter day

 

The truth, a river, flows so free

Unleashing strength, a roaring sea

No longer bound by chains of doubt

Your voice, a beacon, calling out

 

Injustice quakes beneath your gaze

As you step forth, your spirit ablaze

The wrongs of past begin to fade

As you embrace the truth you've made

 

So speak, dear heart, let courage reign

Let not your voice be held in vain

For in your words, the world will see

The power of truth, the strength to be

 

Rise up, let not your spirit tire

For in your truth, you find your fire

And as you speak, the world will know

The strength within, the light you show
