This is the color of the day I’m tired of seeing from a sheltered place Who am I to speak? I’ve never known your song, so I’ll turn the other cheek The world, is aflame the makers and the martyrs burn to grey Your words, are ablaze Signs being struck by bullets Raised to say ‘I cannot breathe’ These are the words I can say Use my voice if you wish, but I’ve never known my place Hands up, do not shoot. No justice, no peace, No luxury, no loot. The world, is aflame the victims and the bullies burn to grey My words, are ablaze Signs being struck by bullets raised to say ‘I cannot breathe’ oh oh oh oh This is the color of the day Raise it up like a flag whose honor we will weigh Our words, are ablaze Signs being shot by cameras work to say Our words, our words will be louder Above and beyond the armor Our words, our words will have power Above and beyond the armor Our words, our words will ring louder than their guns I’m gonna breathe oh oh oh oh Yes, we will breathe oh oh oh oh We’re gonna breathe oh oh oh oh (Our words, our words will be louder, Above the armor) We’re gonna breathe oh oh oh oh (Our words, our words will be louder, Above the armor)

During a vulnerable time, HuDost offers a powerful message with their rock/folk song, ‘Our Words Will Be Louder'. The song was written by HuDost with Dan Haseltine (from Jars of Clay) and Christie Lenee and addresses how inadequate and sheltered we can feel until we give our voices to a larger purpose. HuDost was recently honored with the Independent Music Award for their song “Rise Together” in the “Social Action” category. They are passionate about activism and advocacy and have been congressional district representatives in KY for almost 6 years for ONE (one.org - a non-profit advocacy organization working to end extreme poverty globally).

This song reflects that passion and the video includes cameos from several artist/musician/activists including Jars of Clay, Kevin Clash (Elmo), Kevin Hearn from the Barenaked Ladies,, Cy Curnin from The FIXX, GangstaGrass, Alana Bridgewater, Nawal, Jai Uttal, The Accidentals, Hymn for Her, JP & Liza from Incendio and more.

The release is being supported and aired by The U2 Conference, The Woody Guthrie Center and Museum, American Awakenings, and more.
