| Story Behind the Song
 Voice of Freedom inspires the whole world to unite against terror. Originally written with a more modest objective, the lyrics include the original 1948 voice of M A Jinnah, founder of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan  Representing a call for peace from the past combined with a rallying call of a young person from both east and west, these words now have a deeper significance, post September 11th 2001.
 
 The music was composed by a British music director and the song is sung by a 14 year old British, Pakistani Christian. It calls all to live lives of Unity, Discipline and Faith in order to overcome the evils of the times in which we live.
 
 Based on the original July 2001 recording, in a private studio in London, this edition of a momentous song is for everyone, especially in these unusual days.
 
 
 Lyrics"The success of our achievements will depend upon our Unity, Discipline and Faith" (M.A.Jinnah,1948)
 
 Unity
 Is all about you and me
 Living in harmony
 Learning to give and to forgive
 So all the world can see
 
 Our Discipline,
 Power of not giving in
 To the evil times we're living in
 Keeping control of body and soul
 And never letting go
 
 Our faith, pure faith
 Not the words some people say
 But doing good from day to day
 Holding tight to all that's right
 And standing firm when others turn
 Against the Voice of Freedom:
 
 Chorus
 Discipline, Faith and Unity
 Give us our opportunity
 To build a real community,
 A truly free society.
 Unity, Faith and Discipline,
 This is what we're believing in,
 This is the truth we're living in,
 Discovering, delivering.
 
 It makes me cry
 To see my brother die
 With hatred in his eye,
 A little boy with grown-up toys
 Who knew no other way.
 
 Why can't we see
 That we were meant to be
 Like one big family?
 It's time to heal the pain we feel
 And join our hearts to make
 
 A holy land
 In the way God always planned
 Let's take our peaceful stand
 Against the lies that hypnotise
 Turn away from what they say
 And hear the Voice of Freedom:
 
 Chorus
 
 "Unity, Discipline and Faith, not only in ourselves but in God, who determines the destinies of the peoples of the nations" (M.A.Jinnah,1948)
