You can find me everywhere
wherever there is violence
someone's life is in danger
I will stand and watch the show
I am the mute spectator.

On the footpath I'll stand
where someone is being raped
Someone's life is in danger
I'll be one of those in the crowd
I am the mute spectator

When someone's rights are taken away,
their voices are suppressed
I'll enjoy my rights then
I'll zip up my mouth
I am the mute spectator

You'll find me on the road
when someone's accident happens Someone's life is in danger
I will not do anything to help
I am the mute spectator

One day I will suffer violence
One day I will be raped
One day my voice will be suppressed
One day my life will be in danger
But others belong to my category and
I am the mute spectator
