no change is born in the midst of a voice stifled
how true i know this sentiment to be
so, rather than lose myself in a fate so spiteful
i choose to breathe deep, and speak
there is no cure for this conviction i hold, nor remedy to quell my unquiet mind
i shall pursue my desire to change myself, and to change the world, in kind
my deep-seated belief stands resolute, strong and proud
for nothing will stop me once i speak these words of my heart out loud
i was given these gifts to share with the world, and this i know must be done
is there anything that inspires hope like the harmony of many voices united as one?
let me be the spark, the flame that ignites all around
no change comes from a voice stifled, too timid to make a sound
