Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
[Chorus]
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't you underestimate me
Cause I know that I won't go speechless
[Verse 2]
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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:
[Chorus]
I won't be silenced
Though you wanna see me 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't you underestimate me
Cause I know that I won't go speechless
[Outro]
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
Här kommer en våg avsedd för att tvätta bort mig
En flod som tar mig under
Svälja sand, vänster med ingenting att säga
Min röst drunknade i åskan
[Pre-Chorus]
Men jag kommer inte att gråta
Och jag kommer inte att börja falla sönder
När de försöker
Att stänga mig eller skära ned mig
[Kör]
Jag kommer inte att tystas
Du kan inte hålla mig lugn
Kommer inte darra när du försöker det
Allt jag vet är att jag inte kommer att gå mållös
För jag ska andas
