Lyrics

Take Back (Your Voice)

How do you quiet wicked voices in your head
That shut you down before you even can begin
That whisper sound excuses question every single move
And then convince you there's no point in tryin'

So easy to concede
These voices speak the truth
And it doesn't really matter
what you think
But somewhere inside
Underneath the noise
A part of you is yearning to speak

Take back your voice
Speak your mind-ah-ah-ah-ah
And rise above the chatter
Say what matters
And shi-ine
Take back your voice
Speak your mind-ah-ah-ah-ah
And rise above the chatter
Say what matters
And shi-ine
You just need to believe

How do you quiet wicked voices in your head
That stop you cold the moment you think you'll dive in
That poison you with doubt make you unsure what you're about
And then question what's the use in trying

So easy to concede
These voices speak the truth
And it doesn't even matter
what you think
But somewhere inside
Underneath the noise
A part of you is yearning to speak

Take back your voice
Speak your mind-ah-ah-ah-ah
And rise above the chatter
Say what matters
And shi-ine
Take back your voice
Speak your mind-ah-ah-ah-ah
And rise above the chatter
Say what matters
And shi-ine

Life is for living and
Days are for dreaming and
You can do anything
That you believe in
Life is for living and
Days are for dreaming and
You can do anything
That you believe in
Imagine what you can do
Imagine what you can do
Imagine what you can do
Imagine what you can do when you

Take back your voice
Speak your mind-ah-ah-ah-ah
And rise above the chatter
Say what matters
And shi-ine
Take back your voice
Speak your mind-ah-ah-ah-ah
And rise above the chatter
Say what matters
And shi-ine
And sh-ine
And shi-ine
You just gotta believe
