Speak, it is your voice that needs to be heard
Your life that needs to be lived
Your story that needs to be told.
Speak, for the world is over-full
Of cliches, and excuses, and reasons not to be
There is much that is precious – you see it, and think it can wait
And perhaps it can, but will you take that chance?
Speak when no one is listening
Speak when your heart is full
Speak when the day glows, when the night is young
Speak when silence is easy
Speak to quell the fear.
Too many voices?
Then why are they still listening?
In this crazy bazaar where everyone flogs their wares
Our voices are still all we have
To announce ourselves to our friends.
