Tumbling crowds walk all over us
Pressure us into silence
Silence as they kill us
Silence, so we don\'t wake up the ones who would be called good
Silence so we can\'t fight
Since so we\'re all alone
We were different, so no one cared
We were different, so no one believed us
We were different, so our whispers were talked over
We were different, so we were ignored
We were Jewish in the Holocaust
We were African American in slavery
We were Muslim after 9/11
We were Japanese-American after Pearl Harbor
We were Christian when Rome persecuted us
We were Native American when America was colonized
We were Roma in WWII
We were Mormon in Haun\'s Mill Massacre
We were Puritans in England
We were Indian when Britain invaded
We are Christian in ISIS territory
We are Muslim in Myanmar
We are Syrian refugees
We are women in Silicon Valley
We are gay in a homophobe\'s city
We were persecuted, but we perservered
We are oppressed, but we still speak up
Our legacy is our strength, our courage, and our faith
Our hope is that we are an example for the persecuted later in time
