Break the Silence, Stop the Violence

Anna Fisher
Language: English




[1995]
Lyrics by Anna Fisher
Music by A. Fisher & V. Licata
Album: Renaissance In Formation

Anna's original composition brings light to a painfully disturbing subject wreaking havoc in our households today. From her own experience, she wanted to give back to those who still suffer today encouraging them to reach out and seek help.
Wanted to make a difference, it is about overcoming adversity and speaking out against violence.
Break the silence - Stop the violence
Break the silence - Stop the violence

There is a message in this song
I want you to take from me
The question isn't "Why does she stay?"
But "How can she flee?"

Unless you've been the victim
Of power and control
You may not ever sympathize
With the ones who will not go.

It's easy to say "If it happened to me I'd run right out the door!"
But those who leave run the greatest risk of dying on the floor..

Broken promises, excuses, blaming is useless
Where has my spirit disappeared to?
He's robbed me of my integrity
And covered me with bruises (covered me with bruises..)

Break the silence - Stop the violence
Break the silence - Stop the violence
Break the silence - Stop the violence


Are you having trouble deciding
And feel you can stand the abuse
Remember winners always seek an answer
A loser just finds an excuse
So if you find yourself in that same dark hole
Reach out toward the light
And find your dream inside your heart
A solution is just in sight (…just in sight)

Break the silence - Stop the violence
Break the silence - Stop the violence
Break the silence - Stop the violence

Blindly like sheep
Eagles don't flock - let's stay up
While the others sleep.
Capture the spirit find it within you
Follow your dreams now, you make a difference.

Break the silence - Stop the violence…
Break the silence - Stop the violence (Come on, come on)
Break the silence - Stop the violence (Come on, come on)
Break the silence - Stop the violence (Come on, come on)

[Spoken:]
If you're having problems at home
find someone to talk to
a friend you trust
a member of your family
anyone who believes in you.
You mustn’t be ashamed
Don't risk your life!
Break the Silence - Stop the Violence..
BREAK THE SILENCE, STOP THE VIOLENCE!
