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
