Miss Cindy Amick (https://www.facebook.com/cindy.hopper.amick ): "Does anyone know of a vegan musician who would be interested in working on a project with me? I wrote a song called “Lift the Veil” about animals living on factory farms. "
Editor’s Review: The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the melody is celestial and profoundly moving. Although Miss Amick is a self-taught singer, her performance is both natural and impressively polished. She has indeed done a good job for the Christly mission of animal liberation.
Lift The Veil
By Cindy Amick
For the Voiceless
Intro music
Verse 1
We were born into this world with
A veil that covers our eyes
So we don’t see their pain and suffering
Screams in the darkness
Families torn apart
But the truth is there for those who wish to see
Chorus
Illuminate the darkness
For all the world to see
The faces of the innocent
Crying out to you and me
Illuminate the darkness, and
Lift the veil to see
The faces of the helpless
Do not be deceived
Be deceived
Verse 2
The darkness covers their world
No sunshine on their face
No grass under their feet, fresh air to breathe
The will to live and love
Given by God above
Look in their eyes, stand up to cruelty
Instrumental break
Verse 3
It’s time to lift the veil
My soul cries out to you
It’s not too late for us to change, believe
Now, come and take my hand
Everyone across the land
So we can finally set the captives free
Chorus
Illuminate the darkness
For all the world to see
The faces of the innocent
Crying out to you and me
Illuminate the darkness, and
Lift the veil to see
The faces of the animals
So we can set them free
Set them free
Set them free
Set them free…
You are free
Galations 5: 1: It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
