Everyone speaks
A million miles an hour
Each word
Growing more empowered
They think saying more,
Competing, interrupting
Proves that they know more
And won't be thought of as nothing
Well I'm the bird
That tries to tweet
When thunder crashes
And lightning streaks
Won't take the time
To hear my thoughts
So all I do
Is smile and nod
But that's okay,
No worries here,
Won't seek validation
From a strangers ear
Your hot air fills the room
While you seek your applause
I know my worth, applaud myself
So I just smile and nod

Growing more empowered
They think saying more,
Competing, interrupting
Proves that they know more
And won't be thought of as nothing
Well I'm the bird

When thunder crashes
And lightning streaks
Won't take the time
To hear my thoughts
So all I do

But that's okay,
No worries here,
Won't seek validation
From a strangers ear
Your hot air fills the room
While you seek your applause
I know my worth, applaud myself
So I just smile and nod
