A Voice Of Our Own

from In A Perfect World 2016 by Kevin Mitchell

/

about

Another older tune that I've played off an on for years. I love the treatment that Corwin gave this, and the contributions of all the folks here. This is dedicated to a man I've never met,Theodore(Ted) Albert, who passed away just before he was to sing on one of the verses.

lyrics

A VOICE OF OUR OWN K MITCHELL KEY OF C
SO MANY GRAINS OF SAND C Csus C7
I CAN HOLD IN JUST ONE HAND F D7
SO MANY DROPS OF RAIN C Csus C7
THEY ALL HAVE A STORY, THEY ALL GOT A NAME F D7
AND A VOICE OF THEIR OWN (2x) C Csus C7 / F D7

SO MANY FACES TO THE HUMAN RACE
SO MANY COLORS SO MANY TASTES
SO MANY WAYS TO DO THEIR OWN LITLE THING
SO MANY SONGS STILL LEFT TO SING
WITH A VOICE OF OUR OWN( 2x)

WE WALK THIS WORLD OF WATER AND STONE F G
WE TALK WE SING WE BLOW OUR HORN C Am
WE WALK THIS WORLD BUT NOT ALONE E
WE'RE GONNA SING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR F G
WITH A VOICE OF OUR OWN (4x)
(inst?)

SO MANY WAYS TO TALK
SO MANY PLACES WE COULD WALK
SO MANY THINGS WE COULD SAY
TO BRIGHTEN UP SOMEONES DAY
WITH A VOICE OF OUR OWN

THE MORNING LIGHT HAS A THOUSAND SHADES
IN THE NIGHT WE CAN WATCH THEM FADE
TELL THE TRUTH TELL A LITTLE WHITE LIE
MAKE US LAUGH UNTIL WE CRY
WITH A VOICE OF OUR OWN

Kevin Mitchell British Columbia

The songs that Kevin Mitchell plays and sings have the feel of a far off Woody Guthrie era, mixed with a roots vibe, and betraying just a little bit of his prairie heritage. In the last few years the fire has been lit, and those songs are roaring into life. His unique style, rhythms and subject matter combine to create an exciting new and original voice in the Canadian folk music scene. ... more
