Lift Your Voice

We live in a world,
That for some reason teaches us,
To keep our voices silent,
When instead, we should lift them up

We are so afraid of being wrong...

We live in a world,
That seems so out of reach,
So many people choose,
To not practice what they preach

How long must this go on...?

We...all...have...a voice...

And to use it should be our choice...!

Lift...your...voice...!
Raise it to the heavens,
And scream out your pain!
Lift...your...voice...!
If we all sing,
We can never be contained!
Lift...your...voice...
And every day,
Sing the same refrain...

We live,
        (And we live)
And we live,
        (And we live...)

(So sing the song again...)

We live in a world,
That offers second chances,
But so many ignore them,
Don't give them second glances

We are so afraid of falling out of line...

We live in a world,
Where so few have everything,
And so many have nothing,
Not even their dreams

How long...must this go on...?

We...all...have...a voice...

And to use it should be our choice...!

Lift...your...voice...!
Raise it to the heavens,
And scream out your pain!
Lift...your...voice...!
If we all sing,
We can never be contained!
Lift...your...voice...
And every day,
Sing the same refrain...

We live,
        (And we live)
And we live,
        (And we live...)

(So sing the song again...)

We live,
        (And we live)
And we live,
        (And we live...)

We live in fear!
So many live in tears...!
So many lives!
Wasted through the years...!
We live in pain,
And sorrow and shame,
And we only,
Have ourselves to blame...

(So sing...the...refrain...)

Lift...your...voice...!
Raise it to the heavens,
And scream out your pain!
Lift...your...voice...!
If we all sing,
We can never be contained!
Lift...your...voice...!
And every day!
Sing the same refrain!
Lift your voice higher,
Do it again and again...!

(We live)
        (And we live)
(And we live)
        (And we live...)

So sing the song again...
