Bailey James - I Won't Be Silent Lyrics

I WON'T BE SILENT
Alternate title WE WON'T BE SILENT

By Bailey James Koehler, Jeanie McQuinn, Julie Downs, and Steve O'Brien

I was there on the edge
I was low just like him
In the moment when all hope had faded
Then a hand reaching out
To lift me up, help me down
And (As) we sat and we talked and we waited
Sometimes that's all it takes

CHORUS
I Won't Be Silent, Can't Keep me quiet
I'm gonna speak my truth
Even if my voice shakes
No need to hide it, No shame to fight it
We gotta Tell Somebody .. Tell Somebody
We Won't Be Silent !

VERSE 2
Looking back now I see
That we all hit our knees
But it comes and goes and you just breathe
Take a step at a time, tell someone, speak your mind
It's okay not to feel alright
Sometimes you just have to try

CHORUS 2
I Won't Be Silent, Can't Keep me quiet
I'm gonna speak my truth
Even IF my voice shakes
No need to hide it, No shame to fight it
We gotta tell somebody .. Tell Somebody ..
We Won't Be Silent !

BRIDGE
If I'm (there's) just One Voice to be raised
It there's just One Life to be saved

CHORUS 3
I Won't Be Silent, Can't keep me quiet
I'm gonna speak my truth
Even if my voice shakes
No need to hide it, No shame to fight it
We gotta tell somebody .. Tell somebody .. Tell Somebody .
We Won't Be Silent !
