Those Who Don't

Raise Your Voice

Raise Your Voice

So you can’t help it, you’re afraid

You got a million words in your head

That you won’t ever say out loud

And yet you go through every day

Keeping your chin held high

And strutting like no one could ever bring you down

But I can see it in your eyes

(You could never fool me)

All you ever say are lies

(And they’re too blind to see)

That something in you dies,

When everyday

You shut your mouth

And duck your head

Wishing that you said something

And yet here we go again

You can’t break away,

Take a chance and sing

And say what you mean

When will you take a stand?

When is enough enough?

When do you know that

They went too far?

The words are there

No one can compare

The thoughts you think

But, even then, I’d swear

What they do is wrong

Why would you go along?

You know that you’re better than that

Raise your voice

Let the words wash over

Your soul

Let everybody know

You won’t take this

Not anymore, not anymore

Stand your ground

Forget what they tell you,

It’s your life

And you can sing all you like

You’re the only one stopping you

So raise your voice

Raise your voice
