Lyrics

Lift My Voice
© Cecilia St. King & Beth Wright

The wind pushes on the wing - I open my eyes and I see
The sun begins her amber sweep - behind lady liberty
I think about that torch held high - have not forgotten what it means
People she's standing for you and me - let's keep that fire flickering

Chorus:
I’m gonna lift my voice – above the purple mountain majesty
If I could I would speak for the silent cry – from sea to shining sea
I’m gonna lift my voice – like a breeze blowing freedom’s refrain
I’m gonna lift my voice – across the amber waves of grain

It’s a rough and rocky road
In this land that we call home
I want to know my voice is heard, I know I’m not alone
People we’ve got the power to get us back on track.
Get out and VOTE let’s take our country back

Chorus:
I’m gonna lift my voice – above the purple mountain majesty
If I could I would speak for the silent cry – from sea to shining sea
I’m gonna lift my voice – like a breeze blowing freedom’s refrain
I’m gonna lift my voice – across the amber waves of grain

Aren't we the people - called to lift our voice
The beauty of being American - is the liberty of choice
To say a prayer to lend a hand - to try and right a wrong
Let's lift our voices on high - and sing this joyful song

Chorus:
I’m gonna lift my voice – above the purple mountain majesty
If I could I would speak for the silent cry – from sea to shining sea
I’m gonna lift my voice – like a breeze blowing freedom’s refrain
I’m gonna lift my voice – across the amber waves of grain
