I wish I could say what I think,
without hesitation, second thoughts.
I know we have freedom of speech,
but something makes me bite my tongue.
Wise men say silence is golden,
but dead men say silence is gross.
I wish I could say what I think.
I wonder how some would react.
I wonder whose face would grow scarlet,
and who would laugh in my face.
How much do I have to lose?
Shall I just say it out loud?
Or wait until they tape my mouth
and cut my tongue, close the case.
Oh, then it will be too late.
It will be a bit too late, I'm afraid.
