SPEECHLESS (FULL)

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away, a tide that is takin' me under. Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say, my voice drowned out in the thunder. But I won't cry, and I won't start to crumble. Whenever they try, to shut me or cut me down, I won't be silenced. You can't keep me quiet. Won't tremble when you try it. All I know is I won't go speechless. 'Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me. Don'tchu underestimate me, 'cause I know that I won't go speechless. Written in stone ev'ry rule, ev'ry word, centuries old and unbending. “Stay in your place, better seen and not heard.” Well, now that story is ending. 'Cause I, I cannot start to crumble. So come on and try, try to shut me and cut me down. I won't be silenced. You can't keep me quiet. Won't tremble when you try it. All I know is I won't go speechless. Speechless! Let the storm in. I cannot be broken. No, I won't live unspoken, 'cause I know that I won't go speechless. Try to lock me in this cage. I won't just lay me down and die. I will take these broken wings, and watch me burn across the sky. Hear the echo saying “I won't be silenced.” Though you wanna see me won't tremble when you try it. All I know is I won't go speechless. Speechless! 'Cause I'll breathe When they try to suffocate me. Don'tchu underestimate me, 'cause I know that I won't go speechless. All I know is I won't go speechless. Speechless!
