Here comes a wave meant to wash me away A tide that is taking me under Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry And I won't start to crumble Whenever they try To shut me or cut me down
I won't be silenced You can't keep me quiet Won't tremble when you try it All I know is I won't go speechless 'Cause I'll breathe When they try to suffocate me Don't you underestimate me 'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Written in stone Every rule, every word Centuries old and unbending "Stay in your place" "Better seen and not heard" But now that story is ending
'Cause I I cannot start to crumble So come on and try Try to shut me and cut me down
I won't be silenced You can't keep me quiet Won't tremble when you try it All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless Let the storm in I cannot be broken No, I won't live unspoken 'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Try to lock me in this cage I won't just lay me down and die I will take these broken wings And watch me burn across the sky Hear the echo saying
I won't be silenced Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless 'Cause I'll breathe When they try to suffocate me Don't you underestimate me 'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
