Simple Song

You can stay in silence
or you can choose to speak out loud
you can swallow all these lies
or you can choose to spit them out

You can decide to walk on by
and numb the echoes in your mind
but then you might as well deny your four
for someone else’s five

Say what you mean, mean what you say
just put some soul in it and go
‘cause that’s what all of us can do
to stop this world from growing cold

You can choose to suffocate
in the comfort of your pain
or you can choose to take a breath
and step out into the rain

You can surrender
to whatever they say might be your fate
But then you might as well give up yourself
to someone else’s game

Say what you mean, mean what you say
just put some soul in it and go
‘cause that’s what all of us can do
to stop this world from growing cold

You gotta start somewhere
You gotta start somehow
Don’t ever lose your faith
Don’t let them drag you down
