INSTRUMENT PART: Djembe part - FREE Download

In every heart there is a place that shows us who we are. The opening phrase presents the challenge that unfolds in this significant song. Bound to be the hit of a program, it builds to a big ending, the rhythmic beat of a djembe adding to the excitement.

We Are the Voices

In every heart there is a place,
a place that shows us who we are;
in every heart there is a place that finally I can see.
If I hear my heart I will know it’s true,
if I listen when it calls.
In every heart there is a place that finally I can see.
Look around and you will see it.
The time has come for you to see.
We are the voices and we will be heard
finding a voice that will free us.
We are the voices and we will be heard
as we finally see who we are.
Only what we feel,
there is only one way we can be,
and that is standing up for who we are inside.
We stand up tall so we can feel the unity of who we are inside.
We feel a way to see who we are.
I know who I am.
I am breathing the fire of my soul.
I am breathing who I am inside.
I can feel the fire in my soul.
Look around and you will see it.
The time has come for you to see.
