Here is democracy and freedom-loving Americans’ answer to the insane and destructive Donald J. Trump and MAGA Republicans.
Dan Lucas’s cover of John Farnham’s You’re the Voice. Be sure to wait for the encore. Fittingly, it’s from Germany’s The Voice Senior (singing in English). This is my favorite version because Dan is a senior, born in East Germany (dictatorship), and his voice is passionate!

Lyrics
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We’re all someone’s daughter
We’re all someone’s son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You’re the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh, whoa
We’re not gonna sit in silence
We’re not gonna live with fear
Oh, whoa
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
Ooh, we’re all someone’s daughter
We’re all someone’s son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You’re the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh, whoa
We’re not gonna sit in silence
We’re not gonna live with fear
Oh, whoa
Ooh, we’re all someone’s daughter
We’re all someone’s son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You’re the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear
Oh, whoa
We’re not gonna sit in silence
We’re not gonna live with fear
Oh, whoa
You’re the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh, whoa
We’re not gonna sit in silence
We’re not gonna live with fear
Oh, whoa
You’re the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh, whoa
We’re not gonna sit in silence (we’re not gonna sit in silence)
We’re not gonna live with fear (we’re not gonna live with fear)
Oh, whoa
You’re the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh, whoa
We’re not gonna sit in silence
We’re not gonna live with fear
Oh, whoa
***
We’re not going to sit in silence. We’re not going to live with fear.
We are going to succeed in strengthening our democracy.
