We used to play Take new shapes Be whoever we wanted to be (They brought their money, we made our own) But those days are over We're told to be quiet Be one little thing (They spoke a language we didn't know) But we'll speak up Speak up now And our echoes won't bounce back doubts I'll be the cop or The cowboy And we'll play until dark (Dark will come but so will dawn The sun will fall but rise once more) We don't need light Only time now To prove who we are (Who we are is not our job It's not our role It's what we love) So we'll speak up Speak up now And our echoes will be heard So I'll wait until 4 a.m. When our sounds rise and return again To be heard is All we ask And edge to the line Trip the timer and Wait for your turn (Turn your fears into your fuel And let them push instead of pull) All reds go green eventually If you're willing to learn (Learn the rules Time our shots Our throats untwist, and we speak up) So we'll speak up, speak up now And our echoes will be heard... So I'll wait until 4 a.m. When our sounds rise and return again To be heard is all we ask So I'll wait until 4 a.m. When our sounds rise and return again To be heard is all... Speak up, speak up, now Speak up, speak up, now Speak up, speak up, now Speak up, Speak up So I'll wait until 4 a.m. When our sounds rise and return again To be heard is all we have
