Just Speak...xLe's 1st post!

My first post! Yay. =). This is a song I finally completed last year after having it sit in my notebook for nearly a year. LoL. No one else has read it, so here's it premiere. Weeeeeeeeee!

============================================

Just Speak

Your hurt washes in like a low tide
Subtle pain that’s too hard to hide
I feel your emotions clashing inside
Problems too deep to try and subside
Holding your voice back is unbearable
You feel like you’ve lost your freedom
You think you’ve got no say at all
That you’re just political entertainment
I’m here to say that you’re wrong
Your words will live even when you’re gone
You need to go on and inspire
Be the spark that ignites the fire

Chorus
Just speak
Let the words flow out naturally
Don’t hold back
Put your mind at ease
Just speak
You will be heard, someone’s listening
Don’t be afraid
Keep your soul rising
Just speak, oh, just speak

Spoken Word
Speak, child. Don’t hold back,
Like a cataclysmic boom,
Let the world make room for your opinion.
Who are they to tell you what you can envision?
Let your words flow with the grace of
a ballerina dancing on her tiptoes,
but voice out with the force of an animal stampede
heeding into the known.
Soar to the sky like a butterfly,
release all the tension you’ve been keeping inside.
You can’t be told who to be,
can’t be told what to dream.
Let go and be free.
Open your eyes to the light
and you will see.
Open your mind
and make decisions wisely.
Open your heart
and fill the void with an inner peace.
If you don’t say it,
no one will know about it.
So speak, release, speak.
So speak, release, speak.
Just speak.

CHORUS

The smallest change can make a difference
Tell me what have you to lose
If you need a little assistance
Just listen to that voice inside of you
You’re put on this earth for a purpose
Don’t you dare think you’re insignificant
You need to find your reason
Have faith, your voice will have justice

CHORUS
