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"
WELL, 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
ALL I KNOW IS I WON'T GO SPEECHLESS
SPEECHLESS
