	Story Behind the Song The guitar is like a reservoir where I can always go for strength. There's just something hopeful about a G chord. I got myself out of a major depression writing this song. One of my stronger childhood memories of the anti-war movement was the music: the pulsing strummed guitars, the passionate voices raised in harmony–the whole "Up With People" togetherness of it all. It's all here in this song. Lyrics Raise your voice against the silence, If only to hear your own cry; Don't support the violence That perpetuates a lie. Paint your colors on the darkness, No matter what the risk; Light a candle in the tempest To show you exist. Because if you'd only sing your song Louder than before, We can make a world without war. You can't count the dead; You can't count the tears Or all the blood that's been shed Throughout the years; You can't justify the carnage, Can't justify the pain; In every conflict through the ages They all have died in vain. But if you'd only sing your song Louder than be fore, We can make a world without war. Live your fullest in this moment, As you plant your seeds; Don't be scared by the tyrants Who want to control your needs. Help somebody with their burden, Let them share your load, Because we are all on one journey, we are all on one road. So if you'd only sing your song Louder than ever before, We can make a world without war.
