You can be amazing You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug You can be the outcast or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love Or you can start speaking up Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do when they settle 'neath your skin Kept on the inside and no sunlight Sometimes a shadow wins But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave with what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly, I wanna see you be brave I just wanna see you I wanna see you be brave
Everybody's been there Everybody's been stared down by the enemy Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing Bowed down to the mighty Don't run, stop holding your tongue Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live Maybe one of these days you can let the light in Show me how big your brave is
[Chorus]
And since your history of silence won't do you any good Did you think it would? Let your words be anything but empty Why don't you tell them the truth?
