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

But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
(Won't start to crumble)
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

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

Written in stone every rule every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place better seen and not heard
Well, now that story is ending

'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down

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

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

I won't be silenced (be silenced)
Though you want to see me tremble
(Though you want to see me tremble)
When you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

'Cause I'll breathe (ooh)
When they try to suffocate me
(When they try to suffocate me)
Don't you underestimate me (no)
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
