Speak Freely

Shout in your deepest voice that you can't take no more! Let the world know that you have had enough of this! Whatever is on your mind tell at least one person! You gotta express yourself 'cause no one can read your mind! Or forever hold your peace. The time has come for you to make your opinions known! No holds barred, that's what I say, speak freely! The constitution is no one's whore, can't use it cheaply! Come as you are bring your friends and start a protest! Or forever hold your peace. Stand up in public places to tell them they're all wrong! The repurcutions can't compare to the ultimate freedom! Wave the flag of truth in front of those who don't wanna see! You can't live your life afraid to tell anyone anything! Or forever hold your peace. So what if you get chastised for what's on your conscience! The people that cast stones are the ones scared to speak! If our past great leaders had gotten stage-fright and bowed out, Then I could justify the cowardess of some gutless folks 'Cause they forever held their peace. Rent a room and sell tickets, call it "The End of the World"! Everyone will show up just out of morbid curiosity! Lock the doors behind them and make them listen to you! Ramble, rant and rave about all the things that piss you off! Or forever hold your peace. We don't have a whole lot longer before the world is over! So I say make your mark while there's still room on the page! You can't go through life afraid to tell people your true feelings, Even if it hurts them! How would feel if you died tomorrow And never spoke your peace!?
