lyrics

You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug.
You can be the outcast or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love.
Or you can start speaking up.
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do when they settle 'neath your skin.
Kept on the inside, no sunlight, sometimes a shadow wins.

But I wonder what would happen if you...

Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out.
Honestly I wanna see you be brave with what you wanna say and
let the words fall out.
Honestly I wanna see you be brave.
I wanna see you.
I wanna see you.
I wanna see you.

Everbody's been there, everybody's been stared down by the enemy.
Fallin' for the fear and wanna disappear and bow down to the mighty.
Don't run, stop holding your tongue.
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where we live.
Maybe one of these days we can let the light in.
So show me how big your brave is and

Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out.
Honestly I wanna see you be brave with what you wanna say and
let the words fall out.
Honestly I wanna see you be brave.
I wanna see you.
I wanna see you.
I wanna see you.

And since this history of silence won't do us any good, did we think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty.
Why don't you tell them the truth? Oh!

And say what you wanna say and let the words fall out.
Honestly I wanna see you be brave with what you wanna say and
let the words fall out.
Honestly I wanna see you be brave.
I wanna see you.
I wanna see you.
I wanna see you.
I wanna see you be brave!
