Who will be the sight of the blind?

Who will be the voice of the mute?

Who will be the sound of the deaf?

Who will stand up and change the world?

If we do not, who will?

Who will, but us. No one else will.

The blind will not see,

The mute will not speak,

There will be no sound for the deaf.

There will be no light in a dark world.

So say no to those who are not right,

Say no to those who prefer comfort to freedom,

Say no to those who inspite of knowing take the wrong path.

If you stand for your right, then

You will be the sight of the blind,

The voice of the mute and the sound of the deaf,

And most importantly,you will be 

The light of a very dark world.
