Chances are, you've never heard of veteran songwriter Jeffrey Steele.

Yet, the Nashville Hall of Fame songwriter has written mega-hits for the likes of Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Eric Church, Trace Adkins, and a host of other country music stars.

Now, in what would be an understatement to call troubling times, Steele is singing his own song, A Voice; a stirring anthem he co-wrote for the "voiceless" — the tens of millions of patriotic, freedom-loving, decent people, who far too often feel like their voices aren't being heard by the powers that be.

Steele told Breitbart News: 

I hope every time someone hears it, they’ll be inclined to help someone, be the microphone and help someone find a voice…say what others might be afraid to say.

Steele explained that he attended a vigil for Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk in Franklin, Tennessee, at which “thousands of people gathered and the crowd kept growing," adding:

They were praying and singing. Nobody could hear the speakers. As a songwriter, I write what I see and what I saw was a Charlie Kirk choir and it wasn’t about politics, it was about God and Prayer and love….and togetherness and that feeling needed to be represented in the songCharlie gave the microphone to everyone including those who hated and disagreed with him, and ultimately this song is about free speech.

The lyrics, in celebration of everyday Americans, are beyond stirring:

I’m the Soldier, I fought and died for you
Gave up my Life
To give you the Right,
to live the life you choose
I’m the Farmer, out here dying on the Vine
Trying to feed your Family,
barely feeding mine
I swear to God sometimes

I wish I had a Voice
I would raise it now
For all the silent ones,
no one seems to care about
Speak for all of us,
Crank the volume up,
and let the simple truth cut through the noise
I wish I had a voice

I’m the Hero Front Line Nurse,
I give it all I got
They praised me till the day I spoke my mind
and lost my job
Third generation Cop,
proud to wear this Badge
But it’s hard to put bad guys away, with my Hands behind my Back
Wonder what my Dad would think of that

I wish I had a Voice
I would raise it now
For all the silent ones,
no one seems to care about
Speak for all of us,
Crank the volume up,
and let the simple truth cut through the noise
I wish I had a voice

I’m the Trucker, they’re phasing out
She’s a housewife, but you can’t say that now
I’m a laid off Factory Worker who’s Factory’s China bound
We’re the Coal Miners, Firefighters,
The Charlie Kirk choir all lightin’ our lighters,
Finally waking up, we had enough, of the Liars setting the World on fire
We’re the Children, crying out for help,
a million miles away from home who can’t speak for ourselves.

Will you be our Voice
Will you raise it now
For all the silent Ones,
no one seems to care about
Speak for all of us, crank the volume up, and let the simple truth cut through the noise
Will you be
Yes I’ll be
I will be your voice

With no further ado, here's Jeffrey Steele:

At its heart, "A Voice" is about ordinary Americans whose work, sacrifices, and struggles are rarely reflected honestly in politics or media — if at all. The song turns that frustration into a plea, and then a pledge: Someone has to be a voice for the people who’ve been talked over for years.

Something tells me Charlie would not only be proud of the song and its lyrics, he'd also tell Jeffrey Steele, "Job well done," and smile.
