"Speak Your Mind"

Don't you just wish

Sometimes

That you could speak your mind

Rattle out all your rhymes.

 

Let everyone know

What you're thinking about

How you really feel

Or why you wear that pout.

 

And don't you just wish

Every day

That you could sing your own song

Not caring about what anyone will say.

 

I think everyone

Has this desire

Inside our heart

Burning like a fire.

 

We should all let it out

Let the fire burn

And deal out all our words

Speaking what we yearn.

 

And we shouldn't be afraid

Of our own burning flame

We should let a little out

Letting fate control the game.

 

We all have a passion

Something hiding in our hearts

A secret we hold on to

Because we're afraid of what it might start.

 

But don't be afraid

I should listen to my own advice

And maybe you, or I, will speak out today

Without thinking twice.
