Story Behind The Song

I work in a program for people and families who cope with mental illness. I'm a receptionist and many times receive calls from people who are homeless who desperately need services. All ages. All have a mental illness and attempting to survive with very limited services.Shelters are always full and programs have waiting lists.This song is for them!

Lyrics

Verse

I hear the voice
of mothers with no home
Yet want to care
for their children their own

Chorus

We must
We must
Listen to their cry
We must
We must
Open our hearts and try

verse

I hear the song
of those wanting
to be heard

With many challenges
can we listen and give
a kind word

Verse

I hear the older ones
who say. We have much wisdom
to offer on this day


We can bring good news!
We can show the way!
One step at a time
We can start today!
