Speak Up

Faking a smile everyday

She tries to be happy

Trying to escape judgemental glares

She's not succeeding

Pulling herself up off the ground

She tries not to look around

But she can't get away

So she walks alone each day

 

Listen to the cries

Open up your eyes

Speak

We are the answer

Speak

We are the hope for those

Speak

We are the truth

Speak for me

 

Trying to escape the chains

Of every like she's forged

Can't get away from the hopelessness

She's tried to ignore

She starts to cry with the gun in hand

She can't believe

This is the end

 

Listen to the cries

Open up your eyes

Speak

We are the answer

Speak

We are the hope for those

Speak

We are the truth

Speak for me

 

Speak for me

Speak for me
