Here comes a wave
Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowed in sand
I've got nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder

But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless

Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending

Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down

I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
Cause I know that I won't go speechless

Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
And it echoes saying I...

Won't be silenced
No you will not see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
