I don't know how to say All the things that I need to say I been dying to run, but I can't get away They tell me I ought to know How to get up and go Search the sky for the sun, but the clouds are grey You don't know the words But still you're trying to sing along When the night is calling You know you gotta take it on It's hard to win When nobody wanna listen But voices carry Voices carry It's hard to change When everyone wanna stay the same But voices carry Voices carry Where do I gotta go? Who's gonna free my soul? When I am half-mast on the flagpole? (On the flagpole) Whether you like it or not This little house is all we got And we can change the locks to keep out the cold You don't know the words But still you gotta sing along It's hard to win When nobody wanna listen But voices carry Voices carry It's hard to change When everyone wanna stay the same But voices carry Voices carry Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh How many times does it take to hear me? How loud now until it comes out clearly? I want you to come with me, can you Hold me higher? And I'll take your hand too How many times does it take to hear me? How loud now until it comes out clearly? I want you to come light the fire Hold me and we'll go higher It's hard to win When nobody wanna listen But voices carry (voices carry) Voices carry It's hard to change Everyone wanna stay the same But voices carry (voices carry) Voices carry (voices carry) Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, voices carry Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
