I learned a thing or two from my mama
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah
She believed in God and good karma (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
She said, "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"
Oh 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

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 speaking up
I wanna live my truths wide open
Oh 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 running out of time
I've got to let go of my pride
'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
