In the world of AIDS
Speaking out is the key
No progress if no one to do so
Unpleasant facts we must face

We stand a chance to make history
Or failure yet unmatched
Death to our brothers and sisters through our inaction
We, whose mouths are shut

In our ruthless world of shut up!
Stand up and let's sit you down
Believe me we have a common
But differenciated responsibility to deliever

There isn't an Us and a Them
One people; one identity
One gender; one humanity
Our life begins our progress

Inside a precious world built on knowledge
Left out to die of a disease
Where silence equals death
Let's talk to stay alive for today is promising
Tomorrow is beautiful and hopeful!
