Lyrics

Speak Up

V1:
We've heard enough. Now we're done.
Hoping and praying that change will come
We're in a corner, been pushed aside
But the waves are coming, there's a changing tide

Across this land/across this land

Chorus:
Speak up, speak up, speak up - lift your voice
Speak up, speak up, speak up - make a choice
Speak up, speak up, speak up - with your heart
Speak up, speak up, speak up - Now's the time to start

V2:
Tired of listening to - a crazy point of view
Who doesn't care about - either me or you
From sea to sea, from city to town
We won't hold back, we won't stand down

Chorus:
Speak up, speak up, speak up - lift your voice
Speak up, speak up, speak up - make a choice
Speak up, speak up, speak up - with your heart
Speak up, speak up, speak up - Now's the time to start

Bridge:
Wheels are in motion, I feel the commotion
We're moving, we're moving, we're moving on now
Wheels are in motion, I feel the commotion
We're moving, we're moving, we're moving on now
Wheels are in motion, I feel the commotion
We're moving, we're moving, we're moving on now
Wheels are in motion, I feel the commotion
We're moving, we're moving, we're moving on now

V3:
If we are silent, we'll never know
What could have been, had we said no
In every corner of every town
People forgotten, about to drown

So don't hold your breath. Don't bite your tongue
Don't sit and wait, to see the outcome
Your life is now. The future's here
This is your time to speak.

Chorus (2x)
Speak up, speak up, speak up - lift your voice
Speak up, speak up, speak up - make a choice
Speak up, speak up, speak up - with your heart
Speak up, speak up, speak up - Now's the time to start
