Silence You

You're not everybody's expectations You're not just the cards you're dealt You aren't a product of your generation You are what you make yourself Take all that you're afraid to say Post it up and put it on display You don't have to play nice now Stay held down Shut up and keep your quiet Don't have to take the easy way out Follow the in-crowd Stand up and make a riot Nothing's gonna change if you won't No, nothing's gonna change if you don't It'll be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do But don't let them silence you When you look back on this moment You'll wish you'd spoken your mind Step up to the plate and own it Instead of blending in the sidelines Take all that you're afraid to be Light it up for everyone to see You don't have to play nice now Stay held down Shut up and keep your quiet Don't have to take the easy way out Follow the in-crowd Stand up and make a riot Nothing's gonna change if you won't No, nothing's gonna change if you don't It'll be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do But don't let them silence you When we're gone Our words live on So don't let them silence (silence) silence (silence), oh, you You don't have to play nice now Stay held down Shut up and keep your quiet Don't have to take the easy way out Follow the in-crowd Stand up and make a riot Nothing's gonna change if you won't No, nothing's gonna change if you don't It'll be the hardest thing you'll ever have to do But don't let them silence you, no Don't let them silence you
