Heard
I was halfway up a tree the first time that I felt you move
Saw them dragging your Daddy from the road to let the cars get through
The politicians frowned for the cameras and then they went back home
And when your Daddy took the fine I knew I'd wind up on my own
See, I was always taught that actions speak louder than words
I tried to tell him my plans
I don't think he heard
Heard
We lived in an old caravan, just along from the base
At night your Daddy played guitar and passed out
I thought you might start painting signs that read Not In My Name
Then light a fire with the mail from the council
See I'm of the view that actions speak louder than words
Wristbands and songs sure seem nice but they never get heard
You were 4 weeks old when they came to help us do what's best
I stood by your crib in the corner and cried we're just fine
One said you don't have a choice my dear, look, he's already signed
Well, when I get a rush of anger
I sometimes can't find the words
I put my fist through the window to make myself heard
Heard
Heard
Make myself heard
Heard
Heard
Make myself heard
My lawyer told the jury the rest of that day was a blur
But from the newspaper story it seems I caused quite a stir
They said I was pulling hair and yelling, and screaming about hypocrites and peace
He always did believe in the power of choosing his words
But when I asked if he'd bring you to see me I don't think he heard
You know it's been a long time since you and I spent that day up the tree
The war went ahead anyway, then they took you from me
If you get this today then, baby, happy graduation
Or maybe it's your birthday, your wedding
Or some other occasion
So whatever you do with your life
Make sure you're heard
Heard

Make sure you're heard
