No, you can

But how

Just think of anything

How can it just be anything

Why does it need to be more

Because they’re afraid of it. 

They’re not afraid of the words

Then what are they afraid of

The power behind the words

How can words have power

If you say something, only you, maybe I can hear it. Perhaps someone sitting over near that tree can hear it too. If we say it together, maybe we can reach past that tree and reach that rock. But if us and a million others say them same thing, all at the same time. Then every tree and every rock everywhere will hear us. 

Trees and rocks don’t have ears. 

No they don’t but they do. 

Why don’t they just cover their ears

Because then they need to do that every time we use our voice. And use them we did and use them again we shall. They got tired of covering their ears, so they decided to cover our mouths.

Won’t they hear us now? 

We’re safe here. 

For how long will we be safe? 

For now. Perhaps until later. Just try. Read the words like I’ve written, but do so like the birds in the trees. 

You are my sunshine

A little louder

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy

When skies are grey

You’ll never know dear

How much I love you

Please don’t take my sunshine away

Beautiful. Shall we go teach the others

When will we have enough to free ourselves

We’ll always have more than they do. We only need to not forget

I’ll never forget

Sing it again.
