Listen to the words of this song by Warren Barfield
I cut my teeth, on the back of an old church pew
I learned to walk in the ways of light and truth
And I was told not to speak til I was spoken to
I heard it preached, what I should and I should not do
And the choir sang
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I tried to be a good boy but I ain’t a boy no more
I’ve seen somethings that a man just can’t ignore
And this world’s gone see what I am standing for
I’ve kept my peace, I can’t hold my tongue anymore
You can’t buy my silence, you can’t steal my voice
You can’t keep me quiet, I will bring the noise
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth
But there’s a time to speak and the time is now
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The squeaky wheel is always getting greased
Well, I’ve been sitting still
Park here on the side of the street
Always tip-toeing trying not to wake the beast
Oh but here I come
All you monsters had better run from me
You can’t buy my silence, you can’t steal my voice
You can’t keep me quiet, I will bring the noise
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth
But there’s a time to speak and the time is now
Ooh It’s the time and the time is now
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You can’t buy my silence, you can’t steal my voice
You can’t keep me quiet, I will bring the noise
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth
But there’s a time to speak and the time is now
You can’t buy my silence, you can’t steal my voice
You can’t keep me quiet, I will bring the noise
Try to beat me down, tell me to shut my mouth
But there’s a time to speak and the time is now
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Woh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Amen! I was blessed to see the movie last night and Kirk opened up important and valid points I have never heard before when he spoke about the first few chapters in the book of Genesis. “Let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance” Prov 1:5 NIV I will return to see it again October 3!
Amen to that! I saw it last night. 🙂 And I enjoyed as well. Even sat in the theater afterwards to discuss it. It was amazing, and a lot of points he spoke about, I’ve never heard that way before and I like his thought about it better. The rainbow part was interesting too. Glad you enjoy it! 🙂
This is a great song. I just wish the movie was better. Thx for sharing!
Yes it is. Your welcome. The movie had some points, which I never saw before, but again yes, it could have been much better. I think maybe he forgot to speak on the answer of 1 of the questions?
