Complacency for a voice that will be ignored How can we just give up? How can we just give in? What if the silent majority wasn't silent anymore? A candle's the smallest light But a handful become a lighthouse Cutting the night for us, for us, for us, for us The one with the loudest voice is really the one to follow Silence the noise; so what, so what, so what, so what? So what if we all stand up? What if we don't give in? What if we trade it all? Complacency for a voice that will be ignored How can we just give up? How can we just give in? What if the silent majority wasn't silent anymore? Hurry up, the world needs this Speak up now or we can pick up the pieces Hurry up, the world needs this Speak up now or we can pick up the pieces Hurry up, the world needs this Speak up now or we can pick up the pieces What if we, what if we, what if we What if we all stand up?
