You're The Voice by John Farnham

We have
The chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older

We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?

Chorus:
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!

This time
We know we all stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing, we can make it better

Oooooooh,
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?...

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!

{Instrumental[Bag Pipes(Tin Whistle)]}

Ooooooh
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?...

You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear
Oh-o-o-o, whoa-o-o-o!
(repeat until end of song)

The song's name is:
Your Voice by John Farnham and it is relevant to Julius Caesar, and more importantly to Fate Vs. Free will because this songs is saying we all have our choices and what we choose is our chance to do what we want for ourselves or to listen to the voice telling us our fate. This song could represent the conspirators and there choice to betray Julius Caesar and the time has come to take him down before its too late. For example Brutus wants to do it for Rome, the good of Rome while others do it for the dislike and thoughts of the bad ending for all if Caesar gets crowned. Lyrics such as its time to turn the page and write what they want to write is like the idea, the seed that formed the idea of getting rid of Caesar in the first place, after Julius came back after Pompey had been murdered. In Act Two the idea of this seed, the seed of betrayal and getting rid of Caesar needs a group of people and this song there are lyrics that say we can make it better. Cassius's reasons in Act One to persuade Brutus to join was that Caesar finds himself bigger then everyone else and this song lyrics we are all someone's daughter, we are all someone's son could signify equality.They are done sitting in silence and not going to live in fear like the lyrics of your voice. Overall this song by John Farnham could symbolize not only the struggles of keeping this seed planted of Act Two but also Act One. While the seed first was planted to the planning of the day before the ideas of March. (March 15th)
Meanwhile on Caesar's side, he was warned about the ideas of march and what a bad day that would be in Act Two, his wife Calpernia (Caesar's wife) has a nightmare about his death which almost convinces him to stay hiding for that day, which could have changed his fate. While one of the members of the large group of men conspiring against him, convinces him there is nothing to worry about and to go to the senate that day basically walking him to his fate.
