Say Something

Say it loud, say it loud now
Say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now

I learned a thing or two from my mama
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
She believed in God and good karma (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
She said, "But we can make a change, yeah, we got to try
To leave a better world on the day that we die
Or at least we can go down fighting"
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

So here I go
I'm waking up to the power of words and the weight of love
And yes I know, words ain't enough
But when the silence becomes so dangerous
We gotta say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now
Say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now

I'm bidin' my time, bitin' my tongue
Waitin' for the perfect moment but it never comes
When I get close, I close up
Intimacy's so hard for me and I get stuck
But I don't wanna be like my father was
Scared to rock the boat, never speakin' up
I wanna live my truths wide open
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah

So here I go
I'm waking up to the power of words and the weight of love
And yes I know, words ain't enough
But when the silence becomes so dangerous
We gotta say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now
Say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now

We're all runnin' out of time
I've got to let go of my pride, oh
'Cause someday I won't be around
I wanna leave my heart sung out loud

So here I go
I'm waking up to the power of words and the weight of love
And yes I know, words ain't enough
But when the silence becomes so dangerous
We gotta say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now
Say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now

Say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now
Say something, say something, say something, say something
Say it loud, say it loud now
