Marty Haugen goes all gospel on us here with this wonderful song of social action. It is hard to sing, especially if your singers can’t syncopate. This is how it is meant to sound, although it works better if you sing “we” rather than “you”.
The text is here. It can be purchased in a collection at GIA or as a single sheet at sheetmusicplus.
For some reason this always sounded like a reggae song to me. I’ve put the key change after the fifth verse.
Would it be possible to get a link, url or mp3 of your sound file for Who will speak? I am making a slideshow for a Sister of Charity working with refugees on Nauru and she is presenting a powerpoint to students, the theme being Who will speak if we don’t?
If I am able to use your file I’d appreciate it as soon as you can as she heads to Melbourne early next week. Thank you so much
