Words are meant to be spoken
Not hidden
Feelings are meant to be expressed
Why shy?
You’ve got the heart of a lion
So don’t be afraid

You’ve got the truth on your lips
So, don’t be afraid to speak
Put on your veracious armour
Shake-off all the lies and clamour

If the truth has been forbidden
The world sees it as treason
Stand up and speak up
It’s in you
To break every chain of falsehood

You’ve got the words to change a nation
So, stop biting your tongue
Don’t be afraid to say something wrong
Stop wallowing in silence
Let it out to the world.
