[Verse 1

They told me, \"Stay quiet, everything is fine,\"

But my eyes can’t lie to this heart of mine.

I see the chains wrapped around the air,

I hear their silence; it’s everywhere.

[Bridge

How can I close my eyes to their cries?

When their pain echoes through the night skies?

I’m no hero, no savior to claim,

But I can’t play along with this hollow game.

[Chorus

I can’t stay silent; the world needs a voice,

Too many broken, robbed of their choice.

Don’t expect me to bow or comply,

Freedom won’t fade; it will never die.

[Verse 2

They laugh, they cheer in this quiet prison,

But I see the truth buried in their decisions.

If I stay quiet, who will rise?

If I surrender, then hope surely dies.

[Chorus

I can’t stay silent; the world needs a voice,

Too many broken, robbed of their choice.

Don’t expect me to bow or comply,

Freedom won’t fade; it will never die.

[Outro

I know this road will cut me deep,

But silence isn’t what I’ll keep.

Let my blood write the final line,

That I stood tall, I claimed what’s mine.
